Hey , we have a lovely little girl called Mavis. I am really struggling with names I like that fit the same vibe as Mavis open to all kinds of suggestions. We don't know what we're havint but more sure of a boys name (Frank) but still open on that one too ! Thank you 😊

It’s a bird name so another bird name. Robin or Wren?

As Mavis means songbird maybe:

Robin

KateDelRick · 14/12/2024 09:47

Dulcie is lovely.
Wren is very popular now, but round here it's a cheap kitchen supplier, so that puts me off!

Love Frank with Mavis.

For girls I like
Cora / Nora / Nova (cora is my fave)
Dorothy nn Dottie
Joyce or Joy (I personally love these names)
Pearl
Nancy
Edith
Mabel / Magnolia (if you like matchy)
Harriet
Hazel / Violet although these are more trendy

I think you should get someone else to choose the little mites name. Mavis? Oh dear god.
