For a girl. Y/N?

P.S. This was inspired by seeing the name Fable in another thread. It's not a name I'm using

Like stable? Or a biscuit? I’m not a fan.

AnneKipanki · 26/07/2019 15:10

Was there a character in Dynasty with that name ?

Saucery · 26/07/2019 15:10

No, dog name.

AnneKipanki · 26/07/2019 15:11

It sounds a bit like Sybil . I have nothing against it .

Cathyheathcliff · 26/07/2019 15:11

Sorry really dislike it. I keep seeing Stable.

whatausername · 26/07/2019 15:12

Also means black.

RushianDisney · 26/07/2019 15:13

As out there names go I quite like it

AverageMummy · 26/07/2019 15:26

No

userabcname · 26/07/2019 15:40

No. Don't like Fable either.

GrouchyKiwi · 26/07/2019 15:43

It's a good name for a fantasy character or a black cat. Not for a person.

FindaPenny · 26/07/2019 15:47

I think I would prefer Sabine, Sabrine or Sabrina

OneKeyAtATime · 26/07/2019 15:48

Sablé is a short bread biscuit

hairymclairie · 26/07/2019 15:49

Makes me think of when Sabre bought over Dunder Mifflin and nobody knew how to pronounce it.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 26/07/2019 15:51

It sounds like a Jackie Collins bonkbuster heroine- very dated and think maybe someone was called Sable on Dynasty?
Def no from me!

Notmydalek · 26/07/2019 15:53

My first thought is it sounds like a stripper or a drag queen name so I’m not keen. Definitely agree on the Jackie Collins bonkbuster heroine too.

joystir59 · 26/07/2019 15:56

Awful

joystir59 · 26/07/2019 15:56

Why not chose one of the millions of actual baby names in existence?

joystir59 · 26/07/2019 15:58

Or you could consider Saline, Salve, Sauna, Sewer, Siberia, Saliva,

Courtney555 · 26/07/2019 16:00

Isn't that a type of hair paintbrush. Please don't call your child that

ElizabethMainwaring · 26/07/2019 16:03

Sable Colby was a character in Dynasty. A cousin of Alexis Carrington, who was Joan Collins. Sable was played by Stephanie Beecham.
All this aside, I think that it's a beautiful name.

MikeUniformMike · 26/07/2019 16:04

How about Beaver?

CeeCee88 · 26/07/2019 16:09

Sable means sand in French, so I wouldn't personally go down that route.

ElizabethMainwaring · 26/07/2019 16:13

What's so wrong with sand?
