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 sounds very feminine to me. Like an old lady name.

I agree, because it reminds me of Mavis, which I know several old ladies who have that name.. and also Maeve which I also see as an old lady name.

YES, Mavis. I couldn't pinpoint which old lady name it reminded me of exactly, but Mavis is definitely it.
