This is the name we have for our daughter who is due next week.
We haven't told any friends or family yet. I was very confident of our choice but now am having last minute nerves about it.
What do you think? Nobody remembers the Coronation Street Mavis, do they?
Honest opinions please. I don't think I will change my mind, but want to be prepared for reactions whatever they may be.
Dc1 is Annabel and nearly everybody has always liked this, so will want dd to have the same nice experience if possible.

I really hate to be negative but I agree with solo on this one. Maeve is a favorite of mine.

Old ladies name IMO. Sorry.

Annabel is really pretty, but Mavis feels like the ugly sister name.
I guess it may come back and be really popular...
