Mabel

[JetLi]

Means loveable I believe.
I like it for a little girl but would it be awful for a teenager/grown woman?

Love it....I love the older names anyway. I can just picture this little cutie !

I have a nearly 3 year old called Mabel. We call her Mabes, or Mabey Baby!!

Back in the days that children weren't on my mind I named my car (a 1959 Morris) Mabel because I thought it was a sweet old grandma name to go with my sweet old grandma car. Now that kiddies are on the agenda I'm annoyed at myself for doing that because I like the name but can't possibly name my child after my car!

my dd1 middle name is mabel. i love it. somethimes wish it was her first name but the reactions of some people put me off. think its a bit of a marmite name

I am mummy to a Mabel. DD1 calls her Mabel Table, we call her Mabs. It is my favourite girls name and the Welsh version is quite popular where we are - Mabli.

I think it's gorgeous. And it would grow with the child. There would never be a day when you suddenly thought it sounded wrong, because it would just be her!

Im really sorry but I think it is absolutely terrible. Im not sure if I can think of many names truely this awful. Very "old lady" name to me but not even a nice old lady name.

Horrible.

DD has a Mabelle in her class. I hadn't heard the name in years, but it is lovely, and really suits her.

Love it.

I know a tres cool Mabel. It's a good one.

My dad wanted to call me this. 40 years on I am very thankful he didn't (and yes the name he did chose is cr*p - just not quit this horrid!)

I think it's lovely. And I agree with whoever said it would grow with the child.

Not for me. Its one of those old lady names that still sounds like an old lady name to me.

I prefer Amabel, personally (think Mabel was originally a nn for this).
