Mabel vs Mabli

So basically me and OH want to name our daughter the same name essentially I just want to use the welsh version (i’m welsh OH is English) my question is would it be weird to put Mabel on the BC but for me to call her Mabli as a kind of nickname? That way we will both be happy? Bit contrived?

That’s a brilliant compromise.

OP Lovely, not contrived at all!

I think that’s a nice idea.

Magpie24 · 31/03/2018 17:44

Sounds good to me! I really want Mabel but OH doesn't like it.

I much much much prefer Mabli.

Sorry - Mabel

Sounds great.
Mable is a wonderful name - I wish we'd called our daughter that.

Not at all! Sounds a perfect idea and sweet nickname.

That sounds like a really good compromise!
