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?

Maven sounds like a combination of Mave and Raven to me. Because of Mave I think it sounds a bit feminine

That's exactly what I thought. I've never heard it as a name before though, and I imagine if I knew a boy called Maven I'd think of it as a male name without much trouble. It may not be to everyone's taste, but it doesn't strike me as the kind of name which would be laughed at.

Yeah, it is a bit soft. It's not "Spike" or "Bruce" but it's also not "Ashley" or "Lindsay"
