Tolerable. I like other names better.

Unfortunately, I associate the name with Maeva on Made in Chelsea who has to be one of the biggest bellends I have ever seen on there, and she has some stiff competition.

It's a no from me!

Not 'made up' in France, it's a pretty well established name!

Oh sorry

I have a maeve which I obviously love but maeva is very pretty!

Msgiggles30 · 26/08/2021 23:34

Not a made up name. Its quite popular in the African communities where I am due to the French language. However the family I know pronounce it my-va not may-va. It's a sweet name.

I like Maeve but not Maeva.

Twotothreeagain · 26/08/2021 23:48

To me it’s this holiday company… www.maeva.com/fr-fr/

CaffiSaliMali · 27/08/2021 08:32

I hadn't heard of it before but like it, very pretty and easy to say (I had guessed it was pronounced May-va).

AlmostSummer21 · 27/08/2021 08:40

Not keen - sorry

In England it will appear 'made up' & I expect she'll spend most of her life (if you live in the U.K.) correcting people in either the spelling or the pronunciation. Which gets old quick.

ItsNotMeAnymore · 27/08/2021 08:58

I love it and I have a French name that I have to tell people how to pronounce and which I don't pronounce the correct French way. I'm in my 60's and I've always loved my name and I've never minded the fact I have to help people to pronounce it correctly. It's only ever been positive. I do use a simply shortened version occasionally if I have to give a name at a restaurant etc.

MrsGilly1 · 28/08/2021 08:15

Its cute x I like Mavie as well x

mummagirl · 28/08/2021 08:18

Yep. It's French. Pronounced Moyava.
Our wee pup is called Maeva......I love it

Enko · 28/08/2021 09:30

I like it

Svenalma · 28/08/2021 09:53

I think it's an awful name that seems to be a fad right now.
Will forever think of Dave
