Was certain baby was a boy, turns out he is a she, the only problem this poses is I have set my heart on the name Abel, this baby girl will be my 4th and, quite frankly, I have used all my fave girls names! I am so used to thinking of the baby as Abel that I want to just go with it, it doesn't bother me people thinking she's a boy ( as I know they will, quite rightly) but was just wondering if there was a more feminine name I could use, then have Abel/ Belle as a nickname if nothing other then to keep my bloody mother happy! We are in a part of London where nobody really mats an eyelid at very unusual names so pretty sure she wouldn't be teased but can't help feel a tiny bit worried about using such an obvious boys name.... I did find Abeline but it reminds me of makeup Confused

Thanks all, some lovely suggestions, being biblical not important as such, but I just love biblical boys names, other kids are Lani, Ava, Eli, and Effie, none of them really match or anything..... Have outed myself fantastically here! Will toy with some of the suggestions here and see if any stick....

Also like Mabel and Maeve.

What about Olive / Liv?
