I think Mabel is v cute and works old/young. Need a twin name that works. Is Mildred known as Mills/Red a big no or a maybe??? For my SIL. She is avoiding top 100 (almost impossible IMHO). Thanks.

Matchy twins names sound gimmicky to me. I have dts and they like to be seen as individuals rather that as a pair.

Sorry don't like old lady chic names in general but Mildred esp so.

My grandma was Mabel and her sister Gladys. I also think Elsie goes well with Mabel tho :)

Mildred always reminds me of 'the worst witch' book.......

I'm sorry, but I think they're both very ugly names.

I love Mabel. It was on my list but two friends now have baby Mabels. Mildred is a bit fusty still. Margot? Mabel and Margot :)

Same initials and same date of birth sound like a bad idea to me.

Oh no, mabel is maybe do-able but if I were a twin I'd prefer to be the 'other one' as long as its not Mildred...
Sorry.
