I’ve just had a baby girl Smile

We have a 2 year old Max and can’t choose between the following options:

Mabel
Lyla
Willow
Molly
Marnie

Any help would be great!

Mabel

kenandbarbie · 23/10/2018 18:32

Or lilah

Shadow1234 · 23/10/2018 18:34

Willow and Lyla

Max and Mabel sounds too much like Mack and Mabel for me.

I would pick Molly.

daisypond · 23/10/2018 19:03

I'm not keen on any of them, I'm afraid. Maybe Molly.
Mabel - dreary
Lyla - bland
Willow - OK-ish
Molly - OK but preferably as a diminutive for something else.
Marnie - downmarket. Maybe if short for Margaret or something

Mabel or Willow Smile

DC2018 · 23/10/2018 20:08

Marnie or willow x

TatianaLarina · 23/10/2018 20:12

Marnie.

Givemeallyourcucumber · 23/10/2018 20:13

Mabel or Willow

GMtoBe · 23/10/2018 20:13

Lyla by a mile!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/10/2018 20:32

Marnie
Marnie and Max.

I like all of them except Lyla (there are so so many Leela, Lila, Lola names and each of them seems to be spelt differently by different parents and it gets completely confusing....I know a Lila pronounced Lyla and a Lyla pronounced Leela, or I might have it wrong...as I said...confusing!!) and Molly. Molly to me is a nickname and a bit too twee for an adult's full name. My favourite is Marnie, which is a million times more elegant.

DreamsofJacaranda · 23/10/2018 22:17

Marnie.

Congratulations! From your list it would be Molly or Willow

Cambalamb · 23/10/2018 22:25

Molly.

Cambalamb · 23/10/2018 22:25

Marnie was a horror film wasn't it?

Cambalamb · 23/10/2018 22:26

Go for Lana instead! Never had that 3rd DD for that one.

Sophronia · 24/10/2018 18:56

Lila spelled this way

finallychangedmyusername · 24/10/2018 19:06

Molly is my favourite, but would prefer it as a nickname for Mary. Other suggestions: Lara, Lucy, Layla, Leah, Mila, May?

Sandsnake · 24/10/2018 19:08

Lyla. Congratulations!

n0ne · 24/10/2018 19:46

Love Mabel

Mumtobe193 · 26/10/2018 01:49

Mabel by a mile!

Cambalamb · 26/10/2018 11:17

Mabel is cute for a baby but can you imagine being called Mabel in your 40s?

WildCherryBlossom · 27/10/2018 08:48

I love Mabel!

nocluenoidea · 27/10/2018 09:47

Lyla spelt Lila :)
