Which name is best for our baby girl?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Every other female child is called either Isla or Mabel

Isla yes, it’s number 3. Mabel is number 162....

Cookit · 20/08/2019 10:17

Robyn for that matter is number 79.

whattodowith · 20/08/2019 10:19

Isla is too common. I love the other two, think I’d pluck for Mabel.

Feverslag · 20/08/2019 10:19

Mabel

Ellabella989 · 20/08/2019 10:22

Isla or Robyn. Don’t like Mabel

bridgetreilly · 20/08/2019 10:24

Prefer Robin to Robyn.

In order: Robin, Mabel, Isla.

MrsBertBibby · 20/08/2019 14:12

None of them. Isla is nice but hackneyed. Mabel is really ugly. Robyn is not far behind.

tirednhungry247 · 20/08/2019 14:27

Robyn is a beautiful name

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/08/2019 14:29

Robyn. Mabel is lovely but becoming more popular, and Isla is OK but again quite popular. Robyn is a great name.

BigusBumus · 20/08/2019 14:33

Robyn by a mile.

TempsPerdu · 20/08/2019 14:38

Robyn - it’s lovely and was on our shortlist for DD.

Isla is sweet but mega popular, and I can’t warm to Mabel for some reason.

tirednhungry247 · 20/08/2019 15:24

Bit biased my but niece is called Robyn and she is absolutely stunning and such a lovely child 💗

Nonameyet1 · 20/08/2019 18:22

Isla is really popular.

I like Mabel and Robyn - I think Robyn will age better

AntiHop · 20/08/2019 18:26

I love mabel and don't know any. I know a few isla babies and children. I don't like robyn. I find it clunky.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 20/08/2019 18:30

Robyn

lvra · 20/08/2019 18:41

Isla is quite common where we live, Mabel is by far my favourite 💗

daisypond · 20/08/2019 18:47

I really don’t like any. At a push Isla, even though it’s very common. Mabel is frumpy and dreary. Robyn has no redeeming features and will date badly.

LazyDogFox · 20/08/2019 20:44

Mabel :)

sugarplumfairy28 · 20/08/2019 21:05

Robyn

aibutohavethisusername · 20/08/2019 21:07

Robyn

Poochnewbie · 20/08/2019 21:08

Robyn.
That’s my puppy’s name and I love it. Puppy is my dc#3 substitute. If I’d had another girl, she would have been Robyn.

missmouse101 · 20/08/2019 21:09

Robyn. Others far too popular, and Mabel is very grannyish.

Poochnewbie · 20/08/2019 21:09

Robin is the male spelling and Robyn the female.

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/08/2019 21:11

Mabel

TatianaLarina · 20/08/2019 21:12

None.

Iris, Iona

Mabli, Matilda, Maëlys

Rosa, Romilly, Romane, Rafaela
