Baby is finally here and we’re down to these two for our second DD. First (now four) is Mabel. What are your thoughts? :-)

Penny! I know quite a few Cleos

TatianaBis · 11/11/2021 14:03

Congrats!

Don’t like either and neither go with Mabel.

I would do Beatrice, Phoebe, Posy, Violet.

Thefaceofboe · 11/11/2021 13:16

Penny definitely! Lovely name

golddustwomen · 11/11/2021 12:04

Little bit late to the threat but I love Cleo!
What did you go for OP?
And congratulations!

Love Cleo

sageandbasil · 07/11/2021 11:02

Cleo is gorgeous

RuthW · 07/11/2021 10:35

Cleo.

Unless Penny is Penelope.

Luredbyapomegranate · 07/11/2021 10:34

Cleo all the way

Penny is wet to me - I would at least call her Penelope so she has choices

WakeUpLockie · 05/11/2021 16:08

So funny, Penelope and Cleo are our 2 front runners too 😄 I vote Penny as Cleos are popping up all over the place. It’s perfect though!

sourcherie · 05/11/2021 13:52

Also congratulations! 💐

sourcherie · 05/11/2021 13:51

Penny, definitely. Less fashionable - more authentically old-fashioned; suits Mabel better and sounds better with it too

loopsaloo · 05/11/2021 13:49

I've got a Cleo! She loves her name x

ilovemykids5 · 05/11/2021 13:48

Cleo

DoesHePlayTheFiddle · 05/11/2021 13:17

Neither. Penny isn't a name. Penelope might be.

Mabel and Agnes. Mabel and Ada. Mabel and Alice. Mabel and Maria. Mabel and Agatha.

MerryMarigold · 05/11/2021 13:13

I think Cleo works better with Mabel for some reason. But I prefer Penny. It's a lovely name.

bloominglovelyorange · 05/11/2021 13:08

Absolutely love Cleo but both nice

Peachbubble · 05/11/2021 06:57

Cleo

DramaAlpaca · 04/11/2021 22:35

@Lemonsyellow

I prefer Cleo. But Penny goes better with Mabel.
Yes, I agree.
Onlinedilema · 04/11/2021 22:07

Penny. I would call her Penelope though.

Edenember · 04/11/2021 21:03

Congratulations! 🎉
I like both, I prefer Cleo but I think Penny sits better alongside Mabel style-wise.

So no help at all then 😂
Whatever you choose, you have a winner.

ppan4454 · 04/11/2021 20:34

Penny for sure!

BeKindBeYou · 04/11/2021 20:33

Congrats!!!!

I like Cleo :)

MrsColinRobinson · 04/11/2021 20:28

Cleo is lovely. It's one of my DC's middle names.

FartnissEverbeans · 04/11/2021 20:25

I love them both, but Cleo was on my own list (we’re having a boy though!).

Having said that, Mabel and Penny are gorgeous together
