What do you think of Avis?

[Foxboro]

What do you think of Avis as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.
My Mum's middle name was Avis, She was a lovely, kind lady who was born in 1924. Wonder when the name will come back into fashion?

Not keen, worked with one until quite recently.

Avice is another spelling

i knew a lady called avis davis.

i like it.

Car hire.

Car hire is the first thing that springs to mind.

Care rental,
maybe with a brother called Hertz.

It is a nice name, but will be associated with car rental now.

Ava is nice though

Prefer Mavis.

car hire - sorry.

Airports and car rentals.

I thought this was asking for car hire reviews!

Car Hire.

Put an M in front of it!

Car rental.

If you are really keen I would suggest using it as a middle name, for all the already mentioned reasons.

I dont think it will come into fashion for a long time yet, its too close to the car rental firm and that will put off most people I think.

chimchar - I know an Avis Davies too. I wonder if its the same one!

I'd probably stick to using it as a middle name tbh - it is quite old fashioned but not as appealing as 'old' names like Mabel, Edie etc.

Before I noticed the area this was posted in I thought you were looking for car hire recommendations.

CAR HIRE

car hire.

car hire

I had an Auntie Avis when I was young. She was mad as a box of frogs. So that name always makes me think of a nutty old lady
Ava is nice though - not sure about Mavis, reminds me of Coronation Street.

I only knew one old lady with that name

It does say Car Hire to me. I know an older lady with the name. I like it, like Avery too, and love Aveline (French name) and Avelina.

Mavis is bleeeugh imo.
