Sienna or Maeve

[Mmmummma]

Sienna or Maeve - I am really struggling to choose between these two names! Opinions?

I prefer Maeve

Maeve 100%

Maeve

Meave, much classier although it does seem to be increasingly popular.

Maeve even....can't spell today!!

Maeve is lovely

Maeve. Beautiful name.

Maeve

Maeve is just awful. It is a geriatric name like Enid, or Ethel and I can't understand the adoration for it. Sienna is lovely.

I'm going to go against the grain and say Sienna. I think it sounds nicer and I feel like it has more personality.

Maeve always looks like a strange spelling, sounds a bit dull and frumpy and I just see "ma Eve" like "ma Julie" on Ali G!

Sienna

I think it's a beautiful name although I know it's not especially popular on these boards

Maeve, sienna is nice but prefer Maeve.

100% maeve, I love this name so much, its on my list for my non existant, never gonna happen 4th child who would obviously be a girl.
Really don't like sienna sorry

@missmouse101 Maeve is not a geriatric name . It’s a very popular Irish name.

@chooseausername that ‘strange’ spelling would be spelling patterns from the Irish language. Hope that enlightens.

Sienna.

You must be like me and like names of all styles. Maeve and Sienna are worlds apart from each other.

Like them both, prefer Sienna

Agree with baby spider - I love both

Which goes better with surname and what is middle name likely to be (if any)

They have a very different vibe to me. Maeve is much nicer.

Not keen on either. Sienna is the better of the two.

Enid, pronounced the welsh way is nice.,

Maeve IMO is popular because May and Eve are so popular, is sort of disappears into all the May, Mae, Maya, Mia and Eva Evie Ava type names.

Blimey, I think Maeve is AWFUL. Horrible old ladies name, that I can't hear without a horrible accent on it.
I think it looks ugly on the page too.

Sienna - nice, not my favourite name, but nice.

How do you pronounce it the Welsh way?

Sienna

They are polar opposites, but out of the two, Sienna. Not keen on Maeve, no idea why though. If you are undecided perhaps go through the name books or online again.

Have you considered- Siena? (After the city). It is my daughter's name. She is 25. Her name was not popular at all then. And the spelling even now is not common

@steppemum, it's a very old welsh name, and pronounced ENN-id
