SIL has just told us her friend's childrens' names which are a bit odd taken together and I'm worried maybe ours are too. Don't want to tell family because of the opinions but after a check, please. DD is Polly, and DC2 will be George if a boy and Mabel if a girl. Middle initials P.B., surname begins with D. Anything odd / funny there?

I also nearly suggested Esther, which I love, but maybe not with your DD's name

I like Mabel.

I know 2 Pollys both with sisters one Eliza and one Queenie.

I love Esther too, and we thought of it as a middle name for DD, but it's just not going to happen, is it?

Mabel is gorgeous-it means my beauty and Belle or Bella could be nn as could Mab like Queen Mab [Queen of the fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream]
Maisie is similar and Mary is underused these days.

Go with the name you like best - names of siblings don't need to "go together" - I think that's a bit twee.

I'm not bothered about them going together, if so we'd go with DD's suggestion of Millie. It's more that some names sound odd together, like Polly and Esther. I just wanted to check that I hadn't blinded myself to that with the ones we liked.

I really like Mabel goes great with polly.

I like Mabel- I would be tempted to call her Maisy for short and Mabel as her 'grown up' name.

How about Maggie?

Like Mabel. Adore Maeve, Betsy, Betty, Tess, Nancy, Maude, May, Pearl, Ester, Violet, Edna, Olive
