Thoughts on the baby name Maeva for our second daughter

Hi everyone, we are expecting our second daughter in January and i am pretty set on the name Maeva for her.
I appreciate the name is fairly unique so I just wanted to get some opinions on the name before we make the final decision.
For context, our eldest daughter’s name is Camille nn Cami. We are not french, our love for the names is a happy accident.

I prefer Maeve.

My first thought was that you had seen Maeve written and thought it was pronounced Maeva and decided you would spell it that way.

But what do I know if it's popular...

It's not a name I've come across in France tbh.

It isn't awful, but not a name I'd choose. It;s a bit close to Mavis for my liking, though I know those oldies are all back in vogue.
