May or Mirabel?

It's down to two (I think) for dd3 due any day. Do you prefer Mirabel/Mirabelle (not sure which spelling I like) or May, and which goes with my other dds best? DDs 1 and 2 are Tabitha and Lydia.

Also, can you suggest two middle names for your preferred name?!

thanks!

mirabelle definitely may is nice but a bit plain after tabitha and lydia . we have a lydia , and a tabitha dd4 would have been mirabel but dh vetoed it still wish i'd been more persuasiveSad .she ended up as arabella . oddly enough we also pondered may or mary on our shortlist but dismissed them as they felt a bit plain beside the other 2.

I'm going skiing in meribel soon, sorry, I know that not terrifically helpful but it was my first thought!

I prefer May :)

lurkinginthebackground · 13/02/2012 00:03

Mirabelle. I agree May is rather plain compared with your other dds names.

I prefer Mirabel(le). But I'm biased as DD2's name is Mirabelle. She also has two middle names, but I'm obviously not going to post those (even if they are awesome Wink ).

Some ideas, guessing that you want all the names of similar types:
Mirabelle Alexandria May (two for one!)
Mirabelle Elizabeth Pearl
Mirabelle Beatrice Louise
Mirabelle Bettina Louise

I like Mirabelle too.

Mirabelle Leila Alice
Mirabelle Leila Grace
Mirabelle Violet Grace
Mirabelle Anna Grace
Mirabelle Elizabeth Grace

(I have a thing for the name Grace!)

I prefer Mirabel.

mathanxiety · 13/02/2012 05:37

Middle names:
Mirabel Evelyn Antonia
Mirabel Caroline Rose
Mirabel Valentina Elise
Mirabel Aurelia Vivienne

Mirabelle Leila Grace scans well, but I don't like Leila and Grace is overused... Could.use May as a mn but again, it's overused as a mn imo.
