Mabel

[Papyrus]

So DC5 is a girl.

DH really liked Mabel when DD3 was born last year, I wasn't sure. Its starting to grow on me.

Any other suggestions? With three girls we've completely run out of ideas!

I had a guinea pig called Mabel too. The other one was called Martha. sorry that's not very relevant and possibly slightly offputting - it's a lovely name though, although I am slightly put off by all of those victorian kitchen maid type names.

What are your other daughters' names? (I am pg with no 6 and would like some ideas too!).

My cousin called her DD Mabel. The younger generation love it, the older generation hated it, and I really do mean hate the name. Her parents tried to persuade her out of it.

I know a little Mabel. I would've called dd that if it hadn't been for this other one living nearby.

One of my guinea is called Mabel, it's obviously a good guinea name..

I had a lovely Great Auntie Mabel.
There's a lovely girl in DS1's class called Mabel. I like her name, it suits her.

I thought I was being quirky and cool too!

I really like it and would love to use it.

My Dds middle name is Mabel. I found that peoplemeither love or hate it. My only regret in using the name is that I was not strong enough to use it as a first name. I think it's bloody lovely. My friend has asked if I mind her using it as she likes it so much. I told her that I am more than happy for her to use it and am chuffed that at least her dd will have a fab name

my car is called maybe Mabel

Because Mothers always bring extra love

It made me think of cows - is there a famous cow called Mabel?

When my boys were small for some reason, whenever we saw a herd of cows going over a certain bridge we all said they were going to have tea with Aunty Mabel. So to me it's a cows name.

Other DDs are Eliza, Annie and Clara.

I think what's putting me off slightly, is that I can see Mabel being cute for a baby or toddler, but would a teenage Mabel hate it. Anyone know a teenage Mabel?

Would love to use Grace or Rose, but stupidly have already used them as middle names.

Jules Holland and Tracey Ullmann both have daughters called Mabel who are either in their teens or twenty-somethings. I can imagine them (based on little other than my perceptions of their parents, admittedly) carrying the name off quite well at that age. DD1 is Mabel but unfortunately for her, her parents aren't quite so cool...

There was a Mabel in our school in the 80's. Everyone was agog that she had what was then perceived to be such a 'frumpy' name. She wasn't particularly cool either so that didn't help.

I think it's a trendy name right now, not sure how it'll be perceived in 20 time.

PS meant to add that Beatrice, Iris, Lucy and Clementine are other fave names of mine, a couple of which I have gone on to use for DD2

I don't see Mabel as a cute baby name - I see it as a name they grow into

Your other daughters have lovely names but I really hate Mabel, sorry.

I can't imagine a teenage Mabel either. Although it sounds really cute for an under 5!

Another vote for Harriet, it goes well with your other names im(irrelevelant)o
