Ttc & Mabel was on my list the past two times? How would you picture a Mabel?

I'm fond of the name. I had a great aunt Mabel who would have been 104 now if she had lived. Growing up, she was the only divorcee I knew, she had travelled the world and scandalised everyone in the family by taking lovers. She was an independent, adventurous free spirit who didn't live by the rules, and so I associate the name with bravery and non conformity.

Love it and would use it for sure if ds 2 (due in 4 weeks) was a girl. I feel it’s a really friendly name. It’s pretty but also solid :)

A traditional name becoming popular again. Sweet name but good also for an adult. Lovely classic.
