Re: Maeva, Manon, Eos
lol, for my Small Business class our final project was a group project to form a small business. My group decided on opening a spa/pool/bar (in Miami) and calling it EOS... after the goddess of course, in that we'd be open to see the dawn.We were saying it EE-ohs, which I like. I like it as a mn mostly, though I think I'd be smiling all day if I heard it as a fn! Way cool.As for Manon and Maeva... I like the latter but not the former. I don't like that "man" is in Manon. I prefer Maeve to Maeva, which seems like it's trying too hard.

Actually, man in French is "homme", so the "man" in Manon is completely unintentional.

I'm awareBut that doesn't change the fact that all English-speaking persons will see "Man" in the name. And probably think it's weird that it's the name of a girl. Manon in general, imo, sounds too masculine for a girl.
