Sibling for Maybelle and Sailor

59 replies

NinjatheKitty · 27/08/2023 14:44

We are due our 3rd baby and we are not sure on the sex and will most likely be waiting until the birth. We currently have a Maybelle and Sailor and like unusual names. For a girl we are looking at a similar concept of 2 names together but unfortunately most of them have "belle" or "bella" in them which we can obviously not have. Annalisa is a current favourite but we think it's really quite fussy and think 4 syllables might seem too much but that's a bit weird considering names like Isabella do not feel the same so maybe it is okay and we are overthinking that? We also love Roseanne! For a boy we have a few more ideas and like Archer and Sawyer, think we can't really have Sailor and Sawyer. I'm not a fan of them sharing initials. Other boy names on the list are Mason, Fletcher and Carter. Thank you

Annalise is a lovely name. Maybelle and Sailor are pretty awful

What a horrible thing to say about OPs children's names!!

What's the need in that comment?

Anoushka is nice for a girl.

Digby for a boy?

And in a similar vein, Anoukh

Anchor, Duffle or Tide for a boy.

Bertha, Coral or Navy for a girl.

SuperiorM · 27/08/2023 15:24

Fabia - I liked this as an option but it was then used as a car name. On the other hand, Octavia was and that’s also nice

KirstenBlest · 27/08/2023 15:23

Annalisa sounds more 'fussy' because it could be Anna Lisa. Anneli might be an alternative.

I love Maybelle and Sailor and I would go for something equally cute for your third baby. Jacob or Rafferty for a boy, Eleanor or Bryony for a girl.

LaRevolution · 27/08/2023 15:11

@sunglassesonthetable I came back to add Sidonie!

OP, I think the mother in the Carter Family was Mother Maybelle? Very pretty name.

I also second the above suggestion of Juniper.

Is Maybelle pronounced like Mabel, or May-BELLE? It's lovely.

I like both Annalise and Annalisa. You might also like Althea, Dorothea and Pearl? For boys like a PP's suggestion of Edison, and you might also like Anselm, Anton and Edmund.

We pronounce it as May-BELLE and thank you! People are usually rather positive about the name and DD loves telling her name when she is asked 😂

You think Annalisa is too fussy but Maybelle was fine?

Annemarie, Elizabeth, Rosemary?

Maybelle is just 2 syllables! Annalisa is 4, that is what I meant by fussy, especially with the double "uh" endings in both names in it

Annalisa is pretty. Not sure about surnames as first names for boys.

Out of interest does Maybelle ever get called Mabel? I like both name.

Definitely had people reply back with "Mabel?" and it has to be confirmed but it is definitely not that often and if they see it written down, it is always pronounced correctly!
