  • Yea, really nms, I adore your DD's name, I'd feel bad for Mavis.

  • I love a good old last name but Mavis just makes me itchy and reminds me of a funeral home.

    LOVE it! As does BF, and he normally hates non-traditional names. :) But a lot of people think it's too old.
  • I actually really like it. It seems more non traditional to me, rather than old timey.

  • NMS. I also know an older woman with this name that I really dislike, so it has bad vibes for me.

  • It's a little squicky to me for some reason. Sorry!

  • This is sort of a GP name for me. I love it, but could never pull it off.

    I always think of Jay Leno's wife because that is the only time I've heard of someone with that name.
    NMS.
  • I think of Mavis Beacon and the typing computer game. I want to like it, I just don't.

    I really like it! I would have considered it, but I couldn't get DH on board.

  • I think it's a bit harsh and reminds me of the car rental company Avis. It's not horrible, just not my favorite!

  • It reminds me of a character from an old book I read years ago.  She was young and sweet, so the name carries that association.  I think it's adorable with the nn Maeve.

  • I like old-fashioned names, just not this one.   Plus, it doesn't make for a great sibset.  Other "old" names that might work:

    Ruby

    Rita

    Elsie

    Audrey

    Vera

    Leona

    Marguerite

  • In middle school we had a typing program called Mavis Beacon and that's all I think of.
