Following on from my previous thread where it was 50/50 as far as not knowing any Clara's to people knowing lots, I'm trying to find a new idea for a sister for Mabel.

I also hadn't thought of it being pronounce Clair-ah and much prefer Clar-ra, so unsure of how would be pronounced here.

I loved Clara, Margot and Martha but having vetoed Clara and Margot and Martha sounding too twee with Mabel I need some help. THANK YOU!

So many brilliant suggestions that I'd never even thought of! Thank you so much. MN baby name board is my absolute new favourite place to be!

Mavis! ....but it's a bit matchy and you are going to lose your mind shouting the wrong name for the next 15 years!

I see Millicent has already been suggested...that was my first though
I quite like Esther and Rose or Rosa?
