No I did not mean Marvin.

As an employer, I admit that I look unfavorably on people who have strange names. With two job candidates having equal skills, I will hire the one who has the "normal": name over the "unique" one.
Marvin is a normal name. Mavrin looks like a misspelling or a typo.
If you love your child, name give him normal name!

People will get confused because it's to close to Marvin. To be honest, Marvin is kind of a nerdy name to start with, so it's both nerdy and confusing. Sorry but you asked, and that's my opinion.

my last name is Clowney. How many jokes can you think of for that name. I got them all. And, not just from the other kids but from almost every nitwit that thought it was funny. Even teachers got in the act. Do your kid a favor and give him an easy name, unless you want him to learn to fight early in life. I have had so many bloody noses, I can't remember them all.
Back in the 1950's, Howdy Doody was a very popular and loveable character. So much so, that women began naming their male children "Howdy Doody." They came in all varieties. Howdy Doody Smith, Jones, Osborne and so on.. It was funny a hell as long as you were not the kid with the cartoon character's name.
People tend to become their names. Think about all the people you've known, their frst names and their personalities.

For the rest of his life he will have to correct people who call him "Marvin," assuming that "Mavrin" is a typo. If you're going to go with this name, spell it in a way that will not lead to as much confusion.

Honestly, no. I really don't like the "kre8tv" spellings for kids these days. I much prefer Marvin to your spelling.

It's a rather unusual name and it would probably get confused with "Marvin" a lot. Personally, I wouldn't choose that name for myself, but who knows maybe it might work.

mavrin? that is such an odd name. it sounds almost celtic/gaulic with a hint of americanism tossed in.
I'mnot a big fan of it, butthat is certainly your decision. I just hope the child doesn't hate it by the time he gets to 1st grade. But I guess with the ennounciation expressed specifically and not slurred like every other American might do it, it certainly would add character to the individual and make him hard to forget.

To be honest no I don't care for the name but you have a right to name your son anything you like.
