Mabel or isadora

[mabelstanley]

Dc 6 is due end of January, she will most likely be Isadora or Mabel, I think I prefer Isadora but can't stand the nn Izzy!

I like Mabel, dh and kids love it, but not sure if it's a bit plain. My other girls are Tabitha and Posy, which goes better with their names? ( I won't say the boys names as well as it's too outing but they are classic names, older two are in top ten and youngest is a very old but not made up name)

Am also still open to suggestions!

Mabel!!!!!

I much prefer Mabel, but it's your kid so name her the one you love.

If you initiate Dora as a NN, people will use that. Tbh, there are so many Isabels/Isabellas at the moment, people will probably be relieved to have a NN other than Bella or Izzy to choose from!

I love Isadora

(oh and I think both "go" with your other kid's names)

Mabel. Isadora reminds me of Wizadora and it would probably get shortened to Izzy which you don't like!
I think Mabel is lovely and vintagy.

Mabel is gorgeous. My boy would have been Mabel if he was a girl. I love it!

I like Mabel the best, and I think it goes better with Tabitha and Posy.

Mabel!! What a lovely name!

Both gorgeous. Congratulations X

Mabel!

I also think of wizadora, but that's because it was a popular kids tv show when I was younger, the children your isadora will grow up will never have even heard of it.
Dora or Dorrie would be good nn if you don't like izzy.

I prefer Mabel with your other girls names though.

Love Mabel!

If you don't like Izzy avoid Isadora as like it or not. That's probably be to her friends. Mabel is much pretty anyway.

Dora or dory is a totally natural nickname for isadora as opposed to Issy. I love it.

Mabel is sweet but very popular in my area at the moment which would put me off.

Isadora will probably get Izzy unless you get an alternative nickname established early. Do you like Dora? It’s not a guarantee but you might not mind as much when she’s a teenager and it’s just her friends compared to everyone when she’s a toddler.

Mabel is lovely too and avoid the Izzy issue.

Mabel for me.

Isadora

Mabel is a bit flimsy to my ears. Mirabelle?

Mabel

If you hate Izzy I wouldn’t use Isadora as there’s a good chance she or her friends will decide to use it. Also there’s tons of Izzy’s!

Mabel is lovely

I love Isadora! The obvious nickname to me is Dora

Isadora, but I prefer the Isidora spelling.

Isadora. I don't like Mabel at all.

Mabel - it's pretty. I don't like Isadora and it will be Issy or Izzy.

Thanks guys. Mabel seems to be the front runner

Isadora without a doubt. It’s so charming. Whilst Mabel is such an old lady name
