Not sure on a name

[linz1987]

Hello everyone, I'm not here for nasty comments but honesty is key for me!

We are expecting our second boy and my husband LOVES the name Maverick.

I've looked into this and I know it's a popular name in America currently although I've never heard of anyone called Maverick.

I do not currently like any boy names that I can think of. I'm a teacher and all the names I don't mind, I know of children who have just put me off them!

I do like different names but I also don't want it to be silly.

There's obvious connections to Top Gun (which me and my husband have always loved, especially original.)

Is it ridiculous? Because I can't decide if it is or not!

He would be Mav for short.

I prefer Mack as a nickname too.

I don’t like it. It’s also a lot to live up to. Oh and Mav is an ugly shortening.

'used to describe a person who acts free from constraints or organizational guidelines.'
Not a good name @linz1987 . It's like naming a baby Renegade or Heretic or something.

I'm well aware of what his actual name was!

It’s not ridiculous but I think it will be a faddy name. But if you like it then go for it

As a nickname fine. As a name on a birth certificate it is truly awful.
