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
