This is the name we have for our daughter who is due next week.
We haven't told any friends or family yet. I was very confident of our choice but now am having last minute nerves about it.
What do you think? Nobody remembers the Coronation Street Mavis, do they?
Honest opinions please. I don't think I will change my mind, but want to be prepared for reactions whatever they may be.
Dc1 is Annabel and nearly everybody has always liked this, so will want dd to have the same nice experience if possible.

My Dd has a pretty and unusual name and whilst it stops most people in their tracks, most of them love it, others don't, but at least it is pretty and not hard...Mavis seems kind of gravelly.

I've not heard of 'v' being trendy I have to say. It's a very hard sound in the middle of a name IMO.

Annabel is a pretty name and if your DD doesn't like it in later years she has the options of Anna, Belle or Bella. Mavis (an ugly name IMO)leaves your DD with no other options.
