Very cute! This is better than Maurice. And if not, it could still function as a short from for any name containing Mauri-. It actually sounds like Maury, an English name. I like both of them.

Is it really strictly masculine? I went to school with a girl named Mauri, whose father was Finnish. Maybe it exists as a feminine name with a different meaning?

This comment is about spelling. In my opinion, the alternate spelling of a short form of Maurice should be Maury rather than Mauri. Traditionally girl’s names end in a vowel, not boys. See this site.

One comment there offers this reasoning I propose is relevant to names as well.
“I think it's an Indo-European thing. Indo-European languages distinguish (or at formerly distinguished) masculine nouns from feminine nouns, each with their own unique endings. There were also neuter nouns, too, but that's neither here nor there.”.

I don't believe that this is just a masculine name as I am called Mauri and I am a female. My mum got this name from her New Zealand friend who says it is a feminine name.
