Clara

[gingerfluffball]

Clara!

[SquidgyMaltLoaf]

Clara

[Reekypear]

Clara....Mabel sounds like the scullery maid.

[NotMrsTumble]

Clara.

[KoalaDownUnder]

Mabel.

Love it. And way more underused than Clara.

[loislines]

Both lovely. I'm not keen on Pearl as a middle name so I'd probably go for Clara Margaret, but with a different middle name, I'd choose Mabel. As pp said, it's less well used than Clara.

I love both, my favourite is Mabel. My great aunt was called Maybelle, quite racy for those days I think.

[IsadoraQuagmire]

Mabel Pearl is perfect!

[reuset]

Clara, though both fine.

[Sausages123]

Mabel

[CaptainAnkles]

Clara is beautiful. Mabel I would put in a list of old lady names that shouldn't have been revived, with Doris, Mavis and Hilda.

[Bowlersarm]

Clara

Although Mabel is growing on me.

[reuset]

I'd also rethink the middle names for both. Clara Margaret and Mabel Pearl have similar sounds to the middles. Not really important at all but thought I'd mention.

[juneau]

Clara. Mabel is awful, sorry!

[Floggingmolly]

Clara is very classic and elegant. Mabel sounds like a maid in a mob cap's name.

[nutelladipper]

Mabel & Elsie are my top girls name. I now have an Elsie and if this bump is a girl bump she'll be a Mabel.

[squoosh]

Clara.

Mabel is on a par with Beryl. That's not a good par to be on.

[Pandora37]

Clara. Mabel to me is either a little girl or a little old lady - it just doesn't suit an adult woman to me.

[AndWhenYouGetThere]

Clara.

[Breezy1985]

Clara - really dislike Mabel, sorry!

[GotToBeInItToWinIt]

Clara

[Hobby2014]

I prefer Mabel

[rachel234]

Clare is so much more beautiful and elegant sounding.

[HairyPotter]

Clara. Really not keen on all the old lady names that are having a revival.
