Naming a dog. Does she look like a .... or an ..... or neither?

Friend has got a new dog and is struggling to fix on a name. She's a 7 month old Highland Maltie ( Westie Maltese cross) and is very pretty, loving and feisty. She's a real livewire!
I have suggested two names... Mabel (because he got her in May and the second half of Mabel sounds like belle ie. beautiful) or
Sylvie because this means 'from the forest' and I think she looks like a little woodland creature.
Foxy has been ruled out because although she looks a little like an Arctic Fox my friend wants a name that clearly denotes her sex.

What do we think of these names? Or can any one suggest anything else? I promise to let you know what he chooses in the end Smile

Pics attached. Thanks!

Oh she’s lovely. Lots of dogs round here called Mabel so I’d be tempted to go with Maya instead.

Awww, thanks Unobtainium.

Just throwing another out there... Jenny which means white shadow, apparently. She is following him everywhere!

Mabel! Gorgeous

RaininSummer · 06/05/2021 19:07

I think she's a Mabel.

MadMadMadamMim · 06/05/2021 19:12

I agree with Mabel.

brokengate · 06/05/2021 19:20

Strangely, I looked at the photo. Thought Mabel. Then read your post. So Mabel.

HerMammy · 06/05/2021 19:23

What is her current name? one with a similar sound will be easier for her to adapt to.

FrDamo · 06/05/2021 19:52

My first reaction was: she's a Mitzi

ZimZamZoo · 06/05/2021 19:57

I like Mayday....it would be amusing repeatedly calling her name
