Comments for the name Maverick

Bret Maverick was a gambler in the movie and T.V. show "Wild, Wild West." Maverick is also the name of a car.

What a cool name to have. "Hi, I'm Maverick..."

I also wanted to point out that it is also the name of a deck of cards, a basketball team, an old t.v. show and Madonna's record label. Tom Cruise's character in the movie Top Gun is referred to as Maverick.

The person who didn't brand his cattle was Samuel Maverick; because his didn't, his cattle often wandered off and were captured by other surrounding ranchers. He was trying to raise some quick money (because the beef industry in the south was booming). But anyway, I'm getting off track. People who are said to be "Mavericks" are people are different, almost not normal. They're usually people who don't do what people think is right but what is popular. Some mavericks in history might be Sam Houston, Ben Franklin, and Abe Lincoln. Get what I mean?

Maverick in Hebrew actually means "shiny", "bright", "brilliant".

I think this is a very cool and masculine name. I picture a man with big muscles, charm and bedroom eyes. LOL I'm sure if there is a Maverick everyone calls him Rick for short.

This name is beautiful. I think it's a perfect name for a boy. It sounds friendly and strong at the same time.

My friend had a baby book and it said Maverick meant "friend of the sea".

John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, regularly claimed the title "Maverick" for himself, as did his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

I used to know a guy named Maverick. I thought and still think it is an awesome name. It's unique (as the meaning refers to!), and it's just a plain cool name. How awesome would it be to walk up to a person and say, "Hey, my name's Maverick!"? It'd be hard to follow that!

I like the meaning of this name, though the name is a bit weird. I think a good girl version of the name is "Maveri."

I had not heard of this as a given name until I met a child named Maverick. It sounds strong and reliable to me, but not traditional like I usually prefer. I like its meaning very much, and it seems to fit the character of the boy, too. He is like a little man, very responsible for a middle school-aged child, but liked by his peers. I could easily see him being a force of positive change along his path of life.

I love the name Maverick.

It's strong and masculine sounding, and not too popular (only ranked #504 in popularity in 2010). It's got some cool nickname options too; Mav, Mavvy, Ricky, etc. I have a younger cousin with this name, I've always really liked it.

I like Maverick. I like the meaning and the sound. We thought about using it for our first son.

This is literally the coolest name possible.
