Hey, I'm expecting a baby girl due in September the current list of names I have are below and I'm looking for any other suggestions to fire at my partner as he doesn't seem to overly 'love' any of mine but also doesn't completely dislike them...

Mabel - my fave and he also really likes this

Mila - pronounced m-ee-l-a
Maeve / Maeva
Malia
Marlowe
Ayda / Ada
Alma
Lennie

Any suggestions welcome 🩷

Mabel is lovely.
I also rather like Alma, because it means 'soul.'

Maple? Like Mabel but less old ladyish?

Marcie, Maisie, Noa?

I like Alba, it has a similar sound to some of your names.
Mabel is nice though if you love it.

Thank you, I like Alba that's a really cute suggestion

Mila sounds an ugly noise like meal, mealy, mealer, so that would be out completely for me.

Mabel, Maeve and Ada sound like really geriatric names. Far nicer ones out there!

The others are OK but a little underwhelming! (Sorry!)

I'm starting to dislike Mila in our accents so will probably be off our list shortly.

Please send over any other nicer suggestions, I have a huge family so I'm limited on options.

Surely if Mabel is your favourite and he likes it too, then Mabel it is?
I like it much more than your other suggestions.
Alternatives - Amabel, Sylvie, Morgan, Marnie. But Mabel is the best.

I agree I think she will end up being Mabel just wanted some more inspo really in case we liked anything else slightly more
