Maggie or Mabel dd3

[indiana7]

We can't decide between Maggie or Mabel for dd3 loved both for dd2 & we still love them. Also love Esme. Other dds are Molly & Matilda. Dh is a bit meh about another M name but I like it. Opinions please x

Love Mabel! It's a beautiful name!

Mabel is very granny chic, not keen. I prefer Maggie. You could call her Margaret and nn Peggy and that way you stick with the M theme in one sense but baby gets a non-m name. Also Peggy is quite sweet

Mabel

Mabel is lovely.

I like Martha :) and Margo!
I'd probably break M theme too, Esther is a great suggestion - though Esme still has a clear M sound without having it as an initial.

Maggie

Mabel is lovely

Maeve and Maude are nice too

Something like violet or Ada rose Tess Edith would be good

Maggie, I love Maggie although I would go with Magdalena. However Mabel is also very cute.

Mabel is a gorgeous name. Also love Martha and Margo. Maggie too Tory for me too!

What about margot?
Prefer Mabel

To be honest, neither of them are great, your older DDs' names are much nicer. Mabel out of the two I'd say (even though it has a strong old-lady vibe) because Maggie has quite a harsh sound, also it is a nickname really, not a complete name.

There are much nicer names beginning with 'M' out there!

Sorry, but to me mabel is, and always will be, a cow. Not an association I'd want for my daughter.

I also agree with others and find the m theme twee

Love esme though.

I like Mabel.

How about Margot?

In all honesty though, if it were me, I would break the M theme. It makes me think of the Duggars.

I think the M thing is a bit twee too. It reminds me of a relative's Irish catholic family, where all the sisters had the same first name (Mary). I think there was Mary Anne, Mary Margaret, and I can't remember the 3rd, but they were known as Molly, Maggie and Minnie, and always hated it.

I think if Matilda always goes by "Matilda", I wouldn't go for another M, and if she shortens it to Matty then doubly definitely not Maggie. But if she is usually Tilly or something like that then another M might be OK.

I prefer Maggie to Mabel, but only as short for something longer - Margaret or Magdalena.
I wouldn't like to be called Mabel myself, but think I could carry off Maggie. Though I suppose I am a generation away, Mabel is less old fashioned for a new baby than a 30 something.

If it has to be M then Maya/Maia and Marguerite are lovely.

But Esme is great and 3 Ms is a bit much...

Also Miriam (Mim)

Love Mabel!

Mabel is lovely but not with 2 m names already. Def go for esme

Mabel - and a nickname of May

Mabel is lovely.

I had a friend (grown up) and she and her four sisters were all MM. It was ADORABLE

Don't break the M theme!
