原文: I once knew someone whose name was spelled Maev (no E at the end). I didn't really care for that spelling - like Anne and Maude, I think it needs an E at the end - but I always thought the sound was really cool.
原文: I've heard this name has two meanings- intoxication and the bringer of great joy. I like the second meaning better. I love the name, but I want to name my baby a name that means joy and since two different meanings are given for this name. I'm not sure which is the right one. Anyone who understands Irish Gaelic could you tell me which is the right one?

翻译文: 我喜欢这个名字的声音。 Maeve是一个美丽,惊人的爱尔兰名字。
原文: I love the sound of this name. Maeve is a beautiful, amazing Irish name.
原文: As you can see my name is Maeve and I have to say, I do like the name. I would not like to see America use the name Maeve more because I don't want it to turn to just another name. And trust me, I've seen enough of that done. Anywayyyy, I do like the Irish origins and am happy to be me, see y'all later.
原文: I'm the opposite of many, I never really liked the sound of the name, it reminds of other unattractive sounding things like mauve and navel. But I love the meaning and history behind it. Also for people needing a one syllable middlename it's much more fresh than Anne or Rose, so I can see why someone else might like it.
原文: For those individuals who keep commenting on the negative aspect of the meaning of Maeve (intoxicating), and the namesakes' history; I want to add that Maeve also means "the cause of great joy". In addition, yes, she was a very powerful queen who did start one bloody battle, but had she been a man, none of the negative comments about her, or her name, would have been mentioned (i.e. Alexander the Great, he conquered many civilizations and I'm certain there was much bloodshed).
原文: I must admit to having a great fondness for this name - it has connotations of sweetness and nubility, and seems very connected to the world of faerie.
原文: It is said by historians by that Queen Mebh or Maeve was originally a goddess that a king would ritually marry as part of his inauguration (hence the number of husbands she has in legend).Her name meaning "she who intoxicates" is cognate with the English word mead, a fermented honey drink. It is therefore thought that the ritual marriage ceremony would have involved sharing a sweet alcoholic drink.Queen Mebh/Maeve has also appeared on the Irish pound note.
原文: I really like Maeve and appreciate its history and such. It does have a very nice, very "Irish" sound, if you will, and it's quite ethereal and really is fairy-like.It reminds me of Mab and Maude as well. I like the meaning of Maeve, too!
原文: I adore this name. I pronounce it the traditional way, MAYV. And being one of the many people who aren't knowledgeable on Irish mythology, I don't connect to anything pagan, sinister, or negative in any way.It's a beautiful name, but in a simplistic way.
原文: How would you spell it if you wanted to pronounce it May-vee? I initially thought that was the pronunciation. It sounded sweet.Mayv might sound a bit harsh. And my surname begins with V so it would be a little bit of a clash.
原文: I love this name. The interesting meaning and the pagan connotations are exactly what makes it so appealing - I wish there were more names without any Christian associations!

翻译文: Meav ni Mhaolchatha是一个有才华,美丽,和令人难以置信的天才爱尔兰歌手。她是凯尔特人的一部分(不是女人,女人)。我强烈建议,如果你有爱尔兰的所有名称的兴趣,你检查出这些惊人的天才女性。
原文: Meav ni Mhaolchatha is a talented, beautiful, and incredibly gifted Irish singer. She is a part of the group Celtic Woman (not women, Woman). I highly recommend that if you have an interest in all names Irish, that you check out these amazingly talented women.
原文: I love the name Maeve and don't think it's a pagan name at all. In fact, there was a girl in my church youth group with this name. Everyone, including people named Maeve, should be given the chance to make their own impression, despite whatever connotations others have about the name.Secondly, Maeve was just a character in Irish Mythology. The meaning isn't very great, but who cares? Besides, a name is simply what you call someone. Despite the meaning, I may very well use this name for my future daughter.

翻译文: Maeve是地球生育力的凯尔特女神。
原文: Maeve is the Celtic Goddess of earth fertility.
原文: When I first saw this name I loved it, especially the meaning. But I thought it was pronounced May-ev, which I like better than Mayv, so now I don't like it as much.
原文: Yes, I've read the Wiccan series "Sweep". Maeve Riordan is the deceased mother of the main character Morgan Rowlands. Maeve was burned in a barn with the man whom loved her but she didn't love back. The murderer was her soulmate. Maeve Riordan was said to be a very powerful good witch with an affinity for fire, which her daughter inherited.
原文: I don't understand the appeal of a name whose namesake organized the death of the hero Cuchulainn. Also, the "intoxicating" meaning puts me off because it seems somewhat raunchy.
