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?

I agree about the shortened version, Mave is feminine, because Maeve is an actual name, but I rather like it myself :)

When we shorten it, we plan to call him "Mav" as rhyming with "Have"

Ahhhh! "Have" as in "here have another apple."? Now I think I get it hehe, and yeah Mav is definately better than Mave ;)

His full name will still be 'Maven' rhyming with 'Raven', but I thought 'Mav' for short was manlier. It makes me think of top gun, haha

LOL! I was thinking of Maverick when I figured out how you'd pronounce it ;) It is definately so much manlier, Maeve is a girl's name (and one I love) so Mav pronounced like that would have been odd, especially as I do really like Maven for a boy :D I've never heard it being used either btw :)
