What do you think of the name Maeve

[MamaSapphire]

DH and I love the name Maeve (Pronounced like dave but with an M not a D). It can also be spelt Meabh or Meadbh( Irish spellings) What do you think of the name? What do you think of it? Also if you have any boys names (preferably Irish names) to go with it they would be appreciated

Absolutely love it. It was on my shortlist for DD.

I love it, has a wonderful sound and I think of Queen Mab too.

Really dislike it. Sounds like a dowdy OAP name.

I love it! I've also heard of a MaryEvelyn who was Maeve for short, very pretty!

Lovely name.

Beautiful.

I think of the character from West World - who is definitely not dowdy.

Great name.

Maeve is a lovely name.

For boys I like Seán, Fionn, Ciarán, Lochlan.

I love it. I just read 'The Dutch House' and one of the main characters is called Maeve.

Love it. I have a friend who called her daughter, 'Maeve'. Having said that she was of Irish parentage.

Love it.

Love this name - go for it!

Love Maeve, and any of the spellings.

Boys: Ruairí (though I am very biased re that one!), Dara, Senan, Daithí

Maeve is a lovely name, definitely go for it.

I'm not Irish, but I really love the name Tadhg for a boy.

It seems to be very popular on MN but I am sorry to say I strongly dislike it.
Is it an old granny chic name?

No it's not an old granny chic name, its just a lovely name.

I don't think of it positively, it seems like a total fad name and quite ugly to my eyes and ears. A PP was spot on when they said dowdy. But it really matters whether you like it, not me.

Can't stop thinking it's Dave but with a 'M'

it seems like a total fad name

I have a Méabh and she loves it. When I started work a colleague thought her name was Dave! It's rarely pronounced correctly here but she (and her friends) find it amusing when they have a supply teacher at school. Ruari was our boy choice.

Dislike. Very old fashioned, like an old woman.

Maeve is great, but I do have a soft spot for the spelling Méabh.

I think Mavis is an old lady name, but Méabh is a totally different name, and doesn't have the old lady thing going on at all. She's a strong warrior woman!

I love it

Love it.
Cillian for a boy
