Mabel or Morag

[MummikinsOopNorth]

I love these names, but does anyone have any opinions on these?

I prefer Morag.

Wow. Really, really neither.

Of all the myriad girls' names on God's green earth, you've whittled them all away and are left with these two...?

Mabel is a fab fab name
not so keen on Morag. I had a uni prof called Morag - she'd be about 80 now

PS...I can't remember a day when someone hasn't commented on what a lovely name Mabel is!!

OK Mabel is growing on me.

Mabel - love it!

Must say though - if you're not Scottish you might get some odd looks.

DS has a Welsh name, simply because it was the only one we could agree on we liked it, but every time I say his name, the answer is, "Oh, are you Welsh?". Gets slightly tiresome. Just to warn you!

Mabel

Mabel at a push.

How on earth could anyone like Morag??Ugly name imo.

I think both are awful. I always think would I as a grown woman want to be answering to the name "Mabel" or "Morag". They are both awful ugly names. What is your name? Would you really want to be called something so ugly? Mabel sounds like an old woman and Morag sounds like a hag.

Oh they are both awful.

Like this.

Morag is fabulous

Not so keen on Mabel, tis very grannyish

Ewww. Morag sounds like a name for a an old witch and Mabel is just so little old ladyish. I'm all for the revival of old fashioned names, but these really are a step too far. My mum wanted to call me Thelma and I am eternally grateful she didn't!

@ balloonslayers link!

Morag like a hag.....what a dreadful thing to say.

Neither

Mabel is utterly fabulous.
Morag has a darker side to it, that I am not keen on.

They are both beyond hideous.

Sorry.

I agree with cumbria81.

I love Mabel soo much. DH said no.

I think Morag may be a bit out there is you are not a) Scottish or b) in Scotland!

Ahh pisces methought you (like me!) were a fan of the old-lady-name phenomenon? Am I confusing you with seeker then?

Another Scottish person who thinks Morag is an awful ugly name. I had a friend at school called Morag and I felt sorry for her.

Mabel is growing on me. I can see its cuteness but it does have old lady connotations (for me).

Love Mabel!

I'm afraid that my pet hate is names at the turn of the century, Hilda, Elsie etc, so you must be muddling me! Mabel is one of the better ones. I like the classic-Sarah, Elizabeth etc Clary (sorry)
