Thrown For A Loop With This Boy's Name

My brother's second son is being delivered tomorrow. Over the weekend I found out the name and was a little suprised when I found out what he picked. The name is Maverick James. Does anyone have an opinion about this name?

Other than being reminded of James Garner, or Top Gun? Whew. I have to say, that's quite a heavy name for a little boy.

I kinda like it, but I do think it'd be hard on a little baby/child.

I actually like Maverick quite a bit. ;) James is fine, although very much a filler mn, but they're smart to balance out a less familiar fn with a common mn.

My opinion on this name is that someone--either your brother or his wife (girlfriend?)--has watched TOP GUN one too many times. Maverick's as cute a nickname as there ever was, but it is not the name of a future Supreme Court Justice or company CEO.

James is always a great name...first, middle, whatever. Classic and handsome.

I've only seen TOP GUN twice, but I LOVE the name Maverick. DH and I play a LOT of poker, so I think it's absolutely perfect. Did you really forget about the movie MAVERICK? With Mel Gibson? Maverick is an AWESOME name!

It sounds strong, yet a little "movie-ish" or like a modern romance novel "hero", lol... It's not the worst name I've ever heard, but a little nickname-ish. I wouldn't choose it...

I like it! I have only known one Maverick - a sweet little boy I had to do the May Pole with in kindergarten :)
