Mabel or Morag

[MummikinsOopNorth]

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

Mable

LOL pisces, you'd better not meet my DC then! To a child they are Edwardian parlourmaids (not Hilda tho!) and boys who fought in WW1

Mabel is lovely.

Morag = Moor-hag

Mabel is my MIL's name. I leave it up to you how I feel about it

ooh Clary - what are they - they are my kind of names! (although I adore Hilda also!)

Another vote for Mabel. Since having one of my own (DD is 15mo) I have come across loads more - so you might find it starts losing its old-lady connotations soon.

Morag sounds very old Scottish lady, living in Cbeebies Balamory!
Mabel whilst still an "old lady name" seems a bit more chic.

neither is my favourite name...

Mabel is lovely

tummytickler I don't generally post them but you can perm any three from this list (one girl and two boys):

Alfred
George
Arthur
Stanley
Frederick
Edwin
William
Albert
Constance
Elsie
Mabel
Edith
Agnes
Florence

Lots of schools still do Katie Morag as a topic in the infants - might lead to nameteasing.

Posie Parker - your Mabel is gorgeous - I'm now voting Mabel!:)

I love Morag, but it was my mum's name so I'm biased.

I know of 2 Mabels born this year. Def. on the rise and will date along with Ruby and Evie.

Love Mabel - is pretty and feminine. Morag sounds like the name of an old battleaxe - Morag old hag
Very ugly and harsh

Morag is lovely.

Not keen on Mabel.

A friend of mine has always been called Able Mabel

Possibly 2 of the worst names in existence. I just think of Aunty Mabel from 'Go Outside', for me this is 'old lady chic' gone too far.

I knew a Morag when I was little she was as horrible as her name.

have to admit that I thought old lady when I first heard someone use Mabel on a baby recently, but it's definitely growing on me now. it's very happy sounding. I've heard a couple of littlies called Mabel since so have a feeling it's on the rise.

I also know a gorgeous little girl called Morag.
