Finding MN so helpful right now in our never ending search for the perfect girls name!

Latest addition is Mabel. I’d appreciate some thoughts please - DD1 is Ruby.

Thanks in advance :)

Love it. I know a few and they are all lovely. It's just a great timeless name.

I really like it. Would have a teen named it now but DH vetoed it! I knew I was ahead of the curve!!Grin

I absolutely adore Mabel, @mamablondie it’s close to top of my list if I ever have a girl! What other names are on your list?

mamablondie · 20/02/2020 17:35

@BarbaraBeast ah thanks! I’m a teacher too and we have ruled out so many because of bad experiences lol.

@Whatsyourflava I think you may have helped on my previous threads but the rest of my list is currently:

Jasmine
Ivy
Lillian (Lily)
Holly
Isobel

Briefly contemplated but ruled out: Florence, Matilda, Iris, Lola and Violet. We go through SO many girls names but settled on a boy really easily.

My beagle is called Mabel

I love Mabel. I think it's really pretty. I would have had one, if any of my dc had been girls! (Looking at you, ds1!)

Claphands · 20/02/2020 17:43

Mabel is such a sweet name, I am sure it was popular a few years ago wasn’t it? Anyway it’s lovely!

emmathedilemma · 20/02/2020 17:49

I think it’s great!

bridgetreilly · 20/02/2020 17:51

I like it but I suspect it's going to be in the next wave of cool names. Mabel, Gladys and Ethel.

bridgetreilly · 20/02/2020 17:51

Mabel Ivy would be lovely.

NotNowPlzz · 20/02/2020 17:53

I adore it.

yadayadayesokay · 20/02/2020 17:57

I’ve just named my second daughter Mabel, I love it! But am aware it’s a bit of a marmite name, although I think it’s due a comeback.

I think it would go well with Ruby. My DD1 is Ivy.

Great name. Love it.

I have loved the name since Paul and Jamie called heir baby Mabel in mad about you. Am I really old or does anyone remember that.

MurrayTheMonk · 20/02/2020 20:15

Mabel is getting very trendy again now. I'm still not keen really.

hannahfaith · 20/02/2020 21:02

I love Mabel
If you're worried about it seeming dated I know someone who chose Maybelle instead of Mabel for that reason

Itwasntme1 · 20/02/2020 21:20

Please if you go with Mabel spell it Mabel😀.
