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?

it's a beautiful name for either sex! i think the idea of assigning a preferred gender to a name is pretty silly. sure, we'll all have our own ideas about it (for me, it's inherently feminine because of association) but when it's used on an individual, the name becomes his or her own! i think it'd be a great name for a little boy!

Good, good. Thank you. I think this might just be his name, then
