I like this name. In Nora Roberts' futuristic series about a cop in NYC, a character's name is Mavis. She's a friend of Eve's (the cop).

I think I vaguely remember a character with this name on an episode of Batman: The Animated Series. I think she was a friend of Cat Woman, unless I'm completely mistaken.
