Ok I’m ready for brutal feedback (and nice feedback!)…here is my shortlist for baby that is coming in 3 weeks. In my head she’s always been a Mabel…

Middle name likely to be Rosie as chosen by older siblings (only if we don’t go with an ‘e’ sounding first name).

Mabel
Matilda
Polly
Posie
Heidi
Darcy
Elodie

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I can’t stand Darcy, partly because it’s gone so chavvy with the Darci-Mai’s out there. Or endless Darcy-Rose’s. Matilda, popular, dull.

I love Elodie, Mabel is lovely. Posie is way too twee for a grown up.

Mabel - my favourite
Matilda - ok, but less keen on Tilly for a teen / adult
Polly - like
Posie - too cutesie for me
Heidi - love
Darcy - like but trendy and may date
Elodie - like but she could become another Ellie

I love Mabel and Matilda, not too keen on others, although all nice.

Mabel would be my choice anyway. Go with your head (/heart)! Nice list though. Good luck!
