My husband came up with this one.... I really like it.

He wants to name our son "Maven."
I think it's beautiful. It's not a name, I know... But it's a word with a flattering definition. It's not like calling him "Garbage Truck" or "Pile of Bricks."

So I ask you, would you make fun of Maven if he went to your junior high school?

Also, I think I saw a commercial on VH1 for a reality show where one of the character's name was Maven. Has anyone else heard this used before?

Wait is it Maven like Raven or like the Ma from Matt ven?

Maven, rhyming with Raven.

ma·ven also ma·vin (mā'vən)
n.
A person who has special knowledge or experience; an expert. Someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field

Ah for some reason that makes me like it less. I was thinking the other way. I still wouldn't make fun of it though.

We had actually decided that we would call him Mav for short.... We'd be pronouncing that like "Have"
