LOVE IT. My DH does not agree though sadly! Also think it works very well as a middle name as a less used alternative to May/ Mae

I like it a lot. Very sweet.

Knew a lovely Maeve (next door neighbour) in Newcastle many moons ago.

Beautiful name.

Makes me think a)binchy or b) mauve. Don't know any and don't like it! Sorry ...

I associate it with the ancient Irish legend of the Tain. Maeve was a very self-possessed queen, very sure of herself, powerful -- great namesake to have.

I love it.

I love this name, and would have used it for one of my 3DDs had DH not been so against it. He felt it was an old lady's name.

jasper · 20/11/2009 22:38

love it.
Friend has very beautiful teenage daughter with this name

nannynobnobs · 21/11/2009 18:06

I am not so sure. my friend's now ex was having a baby girl and he was thrilled that they'd agreed on the name Scarlett. When she was born, said ex decided that the baby would be Maeve and that was that. He didn't like the name and was really disappointed, so it's associated with disappointment for me! That and it makes me think of mauve. I'd rather be Scarlett than Mauve haha

juneybean · 21/11/2009 18:07
