What do you think of the name Maverick?

While doing errands the other day I saw a little boy with this name. What good nicknames are there besides Rick/Ricky. Would Richard go with as a MN?

How about Bret Maverick? ;-)


I think it's okay. I can't get away from the James Garner/Mel Gibson western thing, though. I love the old show and the 90s film, but it's a really strong image.

I love the name...i'm actually trying to force it on my husband for the baby i'm having due in september but he can't shake the "Top Gun" association...

Ditto...I look at it and I think "Top Gun."

I like it :)

I think it would be weird with Richard as the MN b/c then both names have some of the same NNs.

I guess if he's a fighter pilot.

What's wrong with Pete Mitchell?

My friend named her son that (maybe you met him at the store, ha ha). He goes by Mav for a nickname. I used to think of whatever movie that was with the guy Maverick but it's been awhile (and the movie didn't stick with me) so I think it could go OK. You could also do Rick for a nickname if you wanted something more normal.

Abysmal.

My husband is trying to convince me to name a kid that, but I can't shake the Top Gun thing. Other than that, I actually like it. A little out there, but everyone can spell it :)

If you were going to call him Rick, then I wouldn't choose Richard as a middle name, seeing as its nickname is also Rick.

I'd probably call him Mavy for short, you know, like the jeans. [Maw-vee]
