Am only 17 weeks so have a while to go but I like to be prepared Grin Nothing is really grabbing me and DP isn't enamoured by any of them though hasn't come up with any decent suggestions of his own.

Opinions please - no matter how blunt or brutal Grin Alternative suggestions also welcome - thanks :)

Connie - bit bland?
Romy - bit blunt?
Merryn
Megan - too popular?
Edie - too popular?
Maeve - bit bland?
Mabel - bit frumpy?
Florence - nn Florri (DP doesn't like)
Esme
Cora
Bonnie - cute but for under 5s only?
Rosa
Joni/Joanie
Seren
Freya
Thea

Names that we've ruled out for various reasons:
Elsie - DP thinks it sounds like a dogs name. Crazy man.
Elodie - could be shortened to Ellie which I really don't like.
Adelaine/Adeline/Aveline - not sure
Blossom - DP thinks it's a horses name.
Clementine - like but DP hates
Arrietty - love but DP hates
Poppy - friend has named her DD that
Beatrice/Beatrix - DP doesn't like
Liberty - could be shortened to Libby which I don't like.

I am a bit biased here but as a mum to a Mabel I have to say it is a completely kick-ass name.

The thing that swung it for me was a definition of the name which was : 'a loving and loveable friend' and that boded future happiness for me.

She so suits her name - she is kind, loyal, a peacemaker, a free spirit and to me the name Mabel is all of these things and has no associations of grannyness and Old Aunt Mabelness! (although we had plenty of raised brows when we announced her name!)

I have never once thought I wish I had named her something else!
