Help[Opinions] Re: Mavis
in reply to a message by Magz
Mavie! I love Mavis and the it has a surprising number of nn choices. Win-win.
This is great. I've included Cornelia and Mavis on my polls this morning before I ever saw this thread or the one below it. Hmmm. Something in the air for these two names? Mavis Cornelia? They do seem to like each others company a lot.
Sisters Mavis and Linnet? Too cute? Hmmm. Maybe too cute.

But the pronunciation is different, no? Lynette has the stress on the second syllable, at least where I'm from. While Linnet has it on the first syllable. Plus, the little bird is spelled "linnet" to match "mavis," another little bird. That's why I wondered if they would be cutesy together. Two birds. See? :-)
If I saw Nightingale and Sparrow, or Dove and Lark in a sibling set then I would definitely think that was over the top. But I'm hoping Mavis and Linnet would be less obvious, at least to the general public. Ah, well.
I'm glad you like them together any way you spell it. :-)
