I’ve just had a baby girl Smile

We have a 2 year old Max and can’t choose between the following options:

Mabel
Lyla
Willow
Molly
Marnie

Any help would be great!

Mabel or Willow Smile

I'm not keen on any of them, I'm afraid. Maybe Molly.
Mabel - dreary
Lyla - bland
Willow - OK-ish
Molly - OK but preferably as a diminutive for something else.
Marnie - downmarket. Maybe if short for Margaret or something

Max and Mabel sounds too much like Mack and Mabel for me.

I would pick Molly.

Shadow1234 · 23/10/2018 18:34

Willow and Lyla

kenandbarbie · 23/10/2018 18:32

Or lilah

kenandbarbie · 23/10/2018 18:31

Mabel

Marnie is a lovely name.

Congratulations opFlowers

Peachbubble · 23/10/2018 17:43

Congratulations! I like Mabel or Willow.

britiole · 23/10/2018 17:36

Mabel!!

EvieV28 · 23/10/2018 17:27

Willow

Eleanor90 · 23/10/2018 17:19

Congratulations! I like Willow best.

Mabel is quite nice too.

Sorry to add even more but might you like Edie, Olive or Violet?

GreenDinosaur · 23/10/2018 16:59

I love Marnie, never met one in real life and I go to a lot of baby groups. Max is lovely too, you are very lucky.

Erysium · 23/10/2018 16:44

Molly and Willow!

Petalflowers · 23/10/2018 16:41

Love Marnie or Willow. Dislike Lyla. The others are okay names.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 23/10/2018 16:39

Mabel or Marnie would be my choice. Probably Mabel if I have to choose my absolute favourite...

JosellaPlayton · 23/10/2018 16:32

Love Marnie. Really like Mabel. Willow is ok. I don’t like Molly or Lyla at all.

BackIntoTheSun · 23/10/2018 16:30

Willow or Marnie

userabcname · 23/10/2018 16:30

I like Willow best. Congratulations!

Pemba · 23/10/2018 16:28

I would choose Lyla, but with the spelling Lila or Lilah which look nicer written down - lovely.
Marnie is nice too.
Then Molly, I like it though you could say it's a bit cutesy and should be short for something.
Willow is fine

Mabel - hmm, still too old-ladyish for me.

Summerfalls · 23/10/2018 16:27

Congratulations, Mabel or Lyla, although I personally prefer the spelling lilah

MsJolly · 23/10/2018 16:27

Mabel or Marnie

starkid · 23/10/2018 16:26

I like Mabel and Willow :)
Congratulations!

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 23/10/2018 16:25

Mabel would be my top pick. Lyla is a dog name to me, Molly is nice but a bit so-what. Willow and Marnie are fine but nothing on Mabel.
