Clara or Mabel?

Siblings are Elsa and Arthur.

Quite like that Mabel doesn't end in 'a' as the others do (or sound as if they do), but it's a bit Marmitey, isn't it? Or too trendy .... We are not trendy...

Mabel without a doubt. I also like Meryll which goes nicely too.

Mabel as it gives a sort of full stop to the name sounds....lots of 'a' at the end otherwise.

Or Maude?

i think it is weird that Mabel hasn't come back in a big way given that May and Isabelle are both so popular! I like Mabel. I know two little ones, I also know three little Claras.

I think Mabel goes better with your Elsa and Arthur, because to me Clara is made up of half the sound of Elsa with half the sound of Arthur, gets a bit much to my ears!
