Sister for Mabel

We’ve recently found out we’re expecting another girl, but struggling with a name. There’s just none I love as much as I did with Mabel’s name. I want to keep the name a secret so stying to not discuss it with family/friends.

My husband and I quite like the name Rose or Rosa. Our surname is boys names, 1 syllable starting with G.

What do you think of the name Rose/ Rosa?!

Rosa is really cute and goes well with Mabel. I also think Ada, Eleanor and Kathleen (Kate) do too.

Rosa is nice. A Mabel I know has a sister called Arietty, which I really like.

I love Rosa

My lovely Nan was a Rosina and her best friend was Mabel. Rosina is a bit more of the same time and you can call her Rose/Rosie for short if you like

I like Rose/Rosa. The following came to mind when I read the title:
Margot
Edith
Sybil
Sylvie

I love old fashioned names – Mabel is a gorgeous name. My daughter's middle name is Rose but to me personally, Rosa lacks the old fashioned, timelessness like Mabel. Rose is a beautiful name in its own right though.

Other names I'd choose if I had a girl again would be something like Martha, Eleanor or Marguerite.
