Mabel

[JetLi]

Means loveable I believe.
I like it for a little girl but would it be awful for a teenager/grown woman?

[beebuzzer]

I had a great aunty Mabel. never tought about it before but actually it's quite cute for a little girl!

I havent heard it for years though. Definately different!

[floweryblue]

I used to know a Mabel on UK Chat, I thought it was an old fashioned name but she suited it perfectly. She used Mabs or Bel for short.

[DiscoDaisy]

My 6 year old DS has a Mabel in his year group.

[LetThereBeRock]

It's hideous.

[ramonaquimby]

It's gorgeous, my fave girls name

[HelenaRose]

I associate it with dogs. Or cows. Sorry. :/

[MelinaM]

It's an absolutely beautiful name! Love it! x

[lycheemartini]

Love it actually, never thought of it before. Good nicknames: May or Belle/Bella. Cute for little one and quite striking for a teenager/adult. Go for it if you're brave enough for something different!

The Welsh version - Mabli is my first choice for DD2 due in January.

[Secretwishescometrue]

Love it! Really sweet lovely name and Belle is a great nn

[festivefriedawhingesagain]

I love it, it was on my shortlist. Possibly with bella as a NN.

[theagedparent]

Lovely name

[tanmu82]

eeeewwwwww, can't believe so many of you actually like it....

[BibiThree]

Adore it. Think it's a beaut of a name. Also Mabli, but if you're not Welsh ...

[LittleYellowTeapot]

Love it. Not sure I'd be brave enough to use it though. But I do think it's a beautiful name.

[LadyInPink]

I know a teenge Mabel - it has never been an issue for her. She is Mabe or Mabes for short and it really suits her. A gorgeous name!

Go for it

[letsblowthistacostand]

Love it. Want to have another girl just so I can use it.

[JetLi]

Thanks all - I'm getting ever so keen on it, the more I think about it

Thanks LadyInPink - Mabes does sound quite grown up for when she's older.

Lovely my very dear nanan was mabel.

I considered is for my DD but would have gone with a diff spelling maybe maybel/mabelle?

Then may or belle as nn
