Hey , we have a lovely little girl called Mavis. I am really struggling with names I like that fit the same vibe as Mavis open to all kinds of suggestions. We don't know what we're havint but more sure of a boys name (Frank) but still open on that one too ! Thank you 😊

Another suggestion to add to my list:

Lucia (either with soft c, or Italian way with hard c)

Inspired by the Mapp and Lucia books. Love the names from this era.

I think you should get someone else to choose the little mites name. Mavis? Oh dear god.

That’s a horrible thing to say.

Mavis is gorgeous.

Edith would be perfect.
