So DC5 is a girl.

DH really liked Mabel when DD3 was born last year, I wasn't sure. Its starting to grow on me.

Any other suggestions? With three girls we've completely run out of ideas!

When my boys were small for some reason, whenever we saw a herd of cows going over a certain bridge we all said they were going to have tea with Aunty Mabel. So to me it's a cows name.

It made me think of cows - is there a famous cow called Mabel?

My Dds middle name is Mabel. I found that peoplemeither love or hate it. My only regret in using the name is that I was not strong enough to use it as a first name. I think it's bloody lovely. My friend has asked if I mind her using it as she likes it so much. I told her that I am more than happy for her to use it and am chuffed that at least her dd will have a fab name

I really like it and would love to use it.

I thought I was being quirky and cool too!

I had a lovely Great Auntie Mabel.
There's a lovely girl in DS1's class called Mabel. I like her name, it suits her.

One of my guinea is called Mabel, it's obviously a good guinea name..

I know a little Mabel. I would've called dd that if it hadn't been for this other one living nearby.

My cousin called her DD Mabel. The younger generation love it, the older generation hated it, and I really do mean hate the name. Her parents tried to persuade her out of it.

I had a guinea pig called Mabel too. The other one was called Martha. sorry that's not very relevant and possibly slightly offputting - it's a lovely name though, although I am slightly put off by all of those victorian kitchen maid type names.

What are your other daughters' names? (I am pg with no 6 and would like some ideas too!).
