Not fond of either of these or Landon? Gavin just sounds old to me...... like Herman and Gilbert etc...

Its the "r". If Gavin was Garvin it would be yuck. Gavin sounds cute to me, kinda new and trendy. And I can picture a wealthy man with that name. Marvin, Herman and Gilbert sound like characters from an old TV sitcom like Leave It to Beaver.

Every time I hear the name Marvin, I think of the, "Marvin the Martian" But really, I don't know to many Gavin's myself. I have heard the name though, and I really like it. Herman, and Gilbert. Well, I think of Gilbert Godfrey, and Herman, Herman Munster.
When I was in the process of naming my daughter, I crossed out many names that had a "past" to them. But you don't know of many girls named Maycee.

Some of the older names are coming back. I like Henry for a little boy. A form of Gavin that I really love is Gavino, (Hispanic) but I'm not sure an American kid would appreciate that.

Gavin reminds me of the mayor of SF cali and Marvin reminds me of the martian. I personally dont like either.
