NO.

I personally loathe the name because I have a cousin of said name who was a horror. She is 2 years younger than I am and at my 7th Birthday party because she didn't win a round of pass the parcel, she stood up and deliberately wet herself in front of all of us. Thumbs down from here I'm afraid.

You would be ahead of the game in retro chic.

All those Mabels would look very passe

Wonderstuff · 22/01/2009 20:30
