I am unashamedly starting another baby name thread Wink promise this is the last one (today anyway)

Another poster suggested Mabel to me, it's a name I LOVE but had discounted because a few years ago had a dog we called Mabel. However said dog only lived a couple of months and very few people were even aware what we had called the dog.

Is this a deal breaker? I'm starting to think not so much! Why oh why did I use a name I love on an animal knowing that we were ttc?

Apart from the above, do you like the name? Do you think it goes with big brother Eli?

Gosh evasmummy if anything I thought it was a very girly name, its amazing the way people get different vibes from the same name! Smile

Also love your user names what a beauty

I don't think it sounds very nice or feminine. Love your usernames though!

Was this blue Peter dog a recent thing or from yonks ago? I'm not from England so never watched blue Peter when young!

I guess my choice in names always tends to be marmite, I have a feeling Mabel may also fall into this category!

Yes goes brilliantly with Eli, and having had a dog named it previously wouldn't put me off at all.
