I know. I may be going crazy but, for a little girl, I kind of love Fable. It is pretty, it is feminine, it has a meaning, it has nickname potential (Fay? Belle?).

What do you think? Have I completely lost it?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

RickGhastley · 01/11/2011 20:39

Yes you have completely lost it!

Put it down to the pregnancy hormones and think of another name.

Littlefish · 01/11/2011 20:41

Ha ha ha. Ridiculous.

HettyAmaretti · 01/11/2011 20:42

Yes, you've lost it.

Mable, yes. Fable, no.

LaFilleSurLePont · 01/11/2011 21:12

You have indeed lost it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/11/2011 21:17

You are deffo going crazy.

BibiBelle · 01/11/2011 21:18

I like it Then I also liked Ever and Story.

Wouldn't have ever used them though. It's one thing to like them, it's another thing entirely to actually USE them!!!

Hee hee.

How about Sable, more of a name (well sort of) and less of a noun.

I think Aesop when I see Fable.

If you watched the Colbys Sable was Stephanie Beecham's character.

BibiBelle · 01/11/2011 21:22

Our first dog was called Sable

Damn.... I did think I may have gone completely cuckoo. Is it that bad?

It is isn't it?

OK... back to the drawing board...

BibiBelle · 01/11/2011 21:30

What about Farrah or Brooke or Blythe?

Psammead · 02/11/2011 09:39

Oooh. I like it.

I mean, it is a bit nuts, but I totally get why you're tempted by it.

hiss42 · 02/11/2011 10:04

I like it! especially nn Belle without being another Isabelle! (millions round here).

3isamagicnumber · 02/11/2011 14:32

No!! What is wrong with 'normal' names these days??!!
Mable you could get away with but Fable is not a name (sorry!)

NoHunIntended · 02/11/2011 14:43

I like it. Fab for nn!

This family have a DD called Fable. here

LaFilleSurLePont · 02/11/2011 15:33

It is that bad,and it's too close to feeble.

LaFilleSurLePont · 02/11/2011 15:35

Yes,and look at the names they've called their other children.They were apparently expecting paint samples,and not babies.

HettyAmaretti · 02/11/2011 15:40

Ah, but I've just been looking at your profile.

If your an utter hipster or move in higher social circles then you can probably pull it off. If your a normal mortal it'll come across very badly. Best to have a 'sensible' middle name if you do go with it.

TBH I still prefer Mable

NoHunIntended · 02/11/2011 15:48

LaFille, if they were expecting paint samples, they should have gone for a mainstream name like Matt! Am loving Reverie, Fable and Boheme!

Ephiny · 02/11/2011 15:51

I actually quite like it in a way, it's got quite a pretty look and sound. Not sure I'd use it myself though...

LaTristesse · 03/11/2011 15:30

I love it! I've just added it to my shortlist for a mn...

loudee · 03/11/2011 19:20

i love it but agree with hetty about choosing a middle name too

featherblue · 04/11/2011 07:55

Love it

comedaygoday · 04/11/2011 08:52

Ghastly, please don't do it.

comedaygoday · 04/11/2011 08:54
