Ok, I think I may have the name.....Mabel...

[CordeliaClementine]

I am unashamedly starting another baby name thread promise this is the last one (today anyway)

Another poster suggested Mabel to me, it's a name I LOVE but had discounted because a few years ago had a dog we called Mabel. However said dog only lived a couple of months and very few people were even aware what we had called the dog.

Is this a deal breaker? I'm starting to think not so much! Why oh why did I use a name I love on an animal knowing that we were ttc?

Apart from the above, do you like the name? Do you think it goes with big brother Eli?

When I was growing up Mabel was one of the really, really dull granny/ auntie names.

I had an auntie Mabel and she loathed her name beyond description.

Mabel is fab though love Cordelia Clementine too !!!

Oh I absolutely LOVE the name Mabel. I had a baby 3 weeks ago and really wanted that name but hubby hated it so I wasn't allowed!! We went with Beatrice instead!!

Love Mabel, but DH hates it :( Along with pretty much all my other choices!

What about Amabel - the original (and Scottish) version?
From the Latin, meaning 'lovable'.

Re earlier poster's comment, the phrase 'Mabel, what's on the table' (not under) came from amazingly popular and now rather cringe-worthy radio programme 'Have a Go' featuring professional northerner Wilfred Pickles and his wife, Mabel, who gave out prizes from the said table. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilfred_Pickles

Love Mabel almost as much as Maude... If I was pregnant, if I was having twins and if they were both girls these would be their names!

I worked with a woman in the eighties called Mabel. She was probably early fifties, had really short black hair and was quite glamorous, and I loved her name.
I also have a friend whose mum is Maybelle which I always want to say with an American southern drawl. (She is posh and from central Scotland!)

I know a Mabel (she's 8) and she is really cool. As a result I really like the name!

I had an aunt Mabel. She was lovely.

I almost liked it until I saw this quote! That's horrible and sentimental that is!
