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 😊

I love Vivienne, or Virginia.
Strong, with the ability to shorten to nickname if you/she fancies

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

Pearl

Edith
Mabel / Magnolia (if you like matchy)
Harriet
Hazel / Violet although these are more trendy

Dulcie is lovely.
Wren is very popular now, but round here it's a cheap kitchen supplier, so that puts me off!
