I dont have many favorite girl names, and I love the name Maeve

What do you think? And what are potential nicknames besides Mae and Eve?

I think it's lovely, Evie would be a very sweet nickname.

I don't know why, but it kind of reminds me of the name "Nevaeh". Sorry if that's insulting:[

But I do think it's a pretty name, Maeve.

I know! ugh. They do look really similar. But still...

Oh no! It would be such a shame if people started associating those two names. Maeve is so pretty and Navaeh is just stupid.

It's the aev part I suppose.

I know it's "heaven" backwards, but how the hell are you supposed to pronounce "Nevaeh?"

I say it "nev-AYE-uh" but that's probably not right...

I love Maeve, and so does my fiance, but he insists on pronouncing it incorrectly, so we can't use it.

My-ev. He said he heard it pronounced that way by someone who uses the name in an online game he was playing. I've told him over and over that she was pronouncing it wrong and so is he, but he doesn't care and won't pronounce it correctly. I refuse to name my hypothetical daughter something and then pronounce it incorrectly - that irritates me. And I like the real pronunciation! So we can't use it.

I love it, but I think it doesn't really need a nickname because it's so short and to the point.

I love the name. I don't think it really needs a nickname though. It's pretty short and cute as it is.

I love Maeve!! I would use Mae, but I could see M (emme) or Evie, V, or E.

Cute name.

How about Maya as a nickname?

My top name!
I absolutely love it and if I ever have a daughter, I don't want to give her a nickname. I'll just call her Maeve.

i like maeve. on arrested development there's a character whose name is maeve, but she goes by maybe (i think she spells it differently, but i'm not sure how)
