Iris is my favourite, but the Nancy I know is a little sweetheart, so I’ve got a soft spot for that name too.
Not keen on Mabel.

Iris and Mabel! Iris is my dd's middle name x

Iris

Lemonadesea · 01/01/2018 21:09

Iris is overused. Mabel and Nancy are both fabulous.

deptfordgirl · 01/01/2018 21:12

I love Iris and Nancy. Not so keen on Mabel.

Dapplegrey · 01/01/2018 21:12

Mabel is divine

Nancy

I'm not keen on flower names, and I'm not sure Make has really got that much 'chic' about it, just 'granny'.

Somersetter · 01/01/2018 21:14

I love Mabel. Really pretty yet simple and classic, yet not overused.

Dexterslab · 01/01/2018 21:17

My 10 week old is iris and I've had so many compliments on it!

Really dislike Mabel.

happytobemrsg · 01/01/2018 22:17

Definitely Iris. I don't like the other two, sorry. Iris is lovely

endthefarts · 01/01/2018 22:26

Not Mabel! It's such an ugly name. Don't do it!

Love Iris and Nancy can be pulled off by a child with lots of character.

Leeds2 · 01/01/2018 22:34

Iris is gorgeous.
Mabel is too harsh sounding for me.
Nancy always brings to mind "Nancy boy".

pumpkinpieinmyeye · 01/01/2018 22:43

I love Mabel followed by Nancy. But all nice names.

Queentitansgo · 01/01/2018 22:45

Mabel

FinnegansCake · 01/01/2018 22:57

Iris.
I don’t like Mabel or Nancy. Or Iris if I’m honest, but it seems like the least awful.
When I was a child they were fairly common old lady names and I encountered quite a few, but I don’t remember a single glamorous one - to me these names conjure up drab overweight women in brown raincoats Grin

TabbyCat864 · 01/01/2018 23:01

Nancy

FreddieClaryHorshieLion · 01/01/2018 23:08

Nancy and Iris are lovely.

But I personally really dislike Mabel.

TatianaLarina · 02/01/2018 09:29

Nancy and Iris.

Mabel is awful.

madeyemoodysmum · 02/01/2018 09:34

Nancy. Hate iris. It's such a harsh sound.

eastlondoner · 02/01/2018 09:35

I can't stand Nancy.
