Is Maeve a popular girl’s name?

Maeve’s popularity has risen dramatically in the last decade, making it a cool modern girl name.

It taps into that trend for soft but strong girl names – plus it’s short and sweet!

The name Maeve has steadily climbed up the baby name charts in recent years – I think helped by the name’s use in popular culture such as the hit superhero show The Boys. One of the lead female characters is called “Brave Maeve”.

In the US the name has jumped nearly 70 places in the last three years, taking it to just outside the top 100 baby names.

So it’s a familiar name but it’s still not too commonly used which is a nice balance to have if you love the idea of a unique name.

The name is even more popular in the UK, where it has reached the top 100 baby girl names.

What middle names go with Maeve?

Due to the name ending with a soft “v” sound that leads easily on to another name you can combine Maeve with a huge variety of middle names!

And Maeve works great with unusual rare middle names, such as Maeve Blake, Maeve Indie and Maeve Maeve Cleo.

Tips for choosing a middle name

Try these tips for picking a baby name if you’re struggling to finalise your choice.

Look out for names everywhere

Whether you’re in a shop, reading a book or magazine, or watching TV, you can find inspiration for a baby name anywhere.

Pay attention to possible names, and have somewhere you can make a note of names that stand out to you – such as a Notes document on your phone.

This sort of open-mindedness can help you find a type of name you love – for example you hear the name Catherine and think you might like a name similar to that, then you can search for names along those lines.

Consider names with meaning

A middle name is often a tribute to a loved one. It can also be a chance to bring in something else of meaning to you, such as a place – maybe you have a fondness for visits to Paris – or a sentiment, such as Hope.

Remember that your baby’s name doesn’t have to have particular meaning, but it can be a useful place to find ideas.

Decide on your style

When discussing baby names it can really help to find trends and styles you both love.

This is where you can find common ground with individual names – as while you may not like one specific name you both may love one that is closely related or similar to it.
