[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a top 10 1980s name..always had 2-3 in my classes and it was annoying but whatever. When we named my daughter Maeve in 2007, nobody had heard of it...nurses in the hospital called her Mauve and Mavis. anyway, we picked it because my husband is a fluent irish speaker, grew up in a Gaeltacht area in Ireland and wanted an Irish name for our baby and I did not want it spelled Meabh or worse, Meadhbh like he wanted to. so we did Maeve...,low and behold, she is now a senior in high school and has had several Maeves in her school and I have met several toddlers over the years named Maeve. I think the trend is based on where we live and irish names being popular here. [/quote] A fluent Irish speaker? Or do you mean Gaelic? [/quote]
