I'm not pregnant or anything but I just adore this name if I had another girl one day but something says it's in the same vein as Apple. Thoughts?

I would snigger and think you were a bit chavvy.

God, I am judgemental aren't I!

Maple is cute. People might assume a Canadian link cos of the maple leaf though.

You pour maple syrup on pancakes... which comes from maple trees. I think tree names are due a comeback anyway.

Rowan, Linden, Holly are all ok. And there are some lesser done ones like Cedar or Tamarix

maple?????

i agree people will think you cant spell mabel

i dont mind apple.

i had a dream lastnight my dd was called pixie and have been looking at her today thinking actually she'd get away with it.not like the pixie i knew when i was younger who turned into a fairly plump and not very nice(not because she was plump just because she was a twat before i get rahhh comments)it was bit ...umm odd-in a table way.

maple's what you pour on pancakes isn't it?

PestoMonster · 17/08/2009 17:12

Maple Syrup's better

MamaLazarou · 17/08/2009 17:10

Everyone will just think you can't spell Mabel.

Thunderduck · 17/08/2009 16:01

It's awful.

Ladyem · 17/08/2009 16:00

Sounds like a clairvoyant at a fairground who'd tell you your future in her crystal ball!! (Sorry!)

JigglyPiggy · 17/08/2009 15:58

The two go together well but people would probably think its ment to be Mable.

MrsBadger · 17/08/2009 15:57

ghastly

MrsBarbaraKingstanding · 17/08/2009 15:57

Or like being called Microsoft.

Table or Microsoft which is worse??

theyoungvisiter · 17/08/2009 15:54

I don't like it. It sounds like Maypole and I can imagine the jokes already.

MaggieBeauLeo · 17/08/2009 15:54

Did she say that?! A rare flash of humour!

It is like being called Table though. It's just so random somehow. LIke they stuck a pin into the dictionary.

MrsBarbaraKingstanding · 17/08/2009 15:52

Being called Apple is like being called Table.

Although I did read Gwenyth paltrow saying the fuss everyone had made you'd think they'd called the child Shithouse. Which me smile amd like her. Momentarily.

MaggieBeauLeo · 17/08/2009 15:49

I quite like it, but I'd be worried she'd be called leaf or syrup.

I really like Mabel though. And I agree, Maple is much nicer than Apple. There is nothing I like about Apple!

LovelyTinOfSpam · 17/08/2009 15:45

I'm with mrsbarabara...

Usually hate non-traditional names.

Maple sounds nice though.

brimfull · 17/08/2009 15:37

ridiculous
too sappy

boom boom

AspasiaManos · 17/08/2009 15:36

Maple is barking.

MrsBarbaraKingstanding · 17/08/2009 15:35

I'm usually quite traditionalist with names, but quite like this.

Not barking like Apple.

moondog · 17/08/2009 15:33

Aye.
Barking
