I love the name Maeve (both as a potential first or middle name) what are thoughts on this name please? Also looking for nice Maeve combinations if possible! Thanks.

I LOVE Maeve!

It's a beautiful name, I know several ranging from primary school to early twenties.
Was a close second to what we called DD and is still on the list for any potential DD2.

There is a Maeve at my children's school. I think it's a lovely name.

Some friends named their daughter Maeve and while I was surprised by the name at first it has really grown on me and it suits her perfectly.

I love it, but much prefer the Méabh spelling.

I think if you’re going with an Irish name, go all in and use the more authentic spelling.

I really like it but would spell it the anglicised way if you're outside of Ireland. It's not wrong, just a variant.

Thanks so much for all of your replies- I do really like it! Think my biggest issue is finding a middle name to go with it now. Surname is 1 syllable so feel maybe a middle name should be longer for the contrast? Any ideas would be much appreciated!
