Thoughts on the baby name Maeva for our second daughter

[GG300]

Hi everyone, we are expecting our second daughter in January and i am pretty set on the name Maeva for her.
I appreciate the name is fairly unique so I just wanted to get some opinions on the name before we make the final decision.
For context, our eldest daughter’s name is Camille nn Cami. We are not french, our love for the names is a happy accident.

I love the name and have seen its set to be one of the names to most grow in popularity this year

It was recently on a list of the fastest growing names in popularity so I don't think it will be unique. But as long as that doesnt bother you then if you like it, why not!

Why not Maeve out of interest? Maeve is a traditional Irish name (a genuine one, not invented by baby name websites). It’s become quite popular in recent years.

OTOH, Maeva I’ve never heard of.

I've never heard of Maeva - is it a French name? Maeve is a fairly common Irish name. In Ireland people would probably automatically write "Maeve" instead of "Maeva" but as with other names, they'd learn eventually.

Daughter or a friend just called her baby Mavie.

I do like Maeve, but prefer Maeva. It has a girlier feel to me and is a little more unique.

It is a French name yes! Ooh Mavie is also love!

I've only seen this name pop up in the last couple of years so I suspect it might end up being a bit faddy. Like Wren. Or Luna. No famous Maevas born earlier than 1987 (according to Wikipedia) so is it a real French name or a French-ish name?

Poor kid will spend her life spelling her name.

Not keen and feel like it will become a trend name that will date badly like all of the Jayden’s and Arlo’s.

It’s lovely and I love Cami

I prefer the simplicity of Maeve, but it's a nice name.

Sounds almost pharmaceutical to my ear. Much prefer Maeve

But it’s just adding a random syllable to an existing name. It’s like calling your child Jameso or Saraha.

Or Louisa, or Joanna, or Julietta?

I don’t think it’s unique or unusual at all. I love it, but I just wouldn’t describe it as unique!

It’s ok, but I agree with others it’s certainly not unusual or unique, very much a trend name that will date.

How do you say it?

I think Maeva lovely and nicer than Maeve, which sounds as it it's short for Mavis!
Miss France 2018 was Maeva Coucke, a very glamorous redhead who has gone on to have a halfway decent career in tv.

Is there not a made in Chelsea person called Maeva?

I prefer it to Maeve. I only heard the name recently but it was in an article about the names that are rapidly rising in popularity so probably not going to be that unique. Wouldn’t put me off a name I like though.

My DD has a friend called Maeva, I think it’s a lovely name. Love Camille/Cami.

My first thought was they've bastardized the name Maeve. This is becoming quite common with Irish names.

It's a no from me OP. It's along the same lines as Nevaeh.

It just looks misspelled to me, and I suspect she will spend her life correcting it.

Those aren’t revolting.

Maeva is a company which rents out holiday apartments in France https://www.maeva.com/en-gb/ : stick with Maeve.
