Sister for Rupert

We have just found out we are having a girl! Ds is Rupert so need a classic name to go with it for DD.
We liked the following
Nancy
Edith

Until we came a cross Mabel which feels lovely and like it fits more. What do you think of Mabel Grace?

Annabelle was the first name that sprang to mind for me, followed by Arabella.

Mabel is a pretty name though!

How about Polly?

PeaceAndHarmoneeee · 24/08/2020 23:52

Caroline was the first name I thought of.

Thecazelets · 24/08/2020 23:55

Another vote for Jemima

LivingMyBestLifeNOT · 24/08/2020 23:56

Martha
Matildha
Delilah
Nancy
are nice.
Not sure on Mabel

Rupert needs a Jemima or Matilda type name.

Jemima Grace sounds sweet.

You could always go for Persephone? It doesn't sound out of place with Rupert and Percie/Percy is a cute NN.

Charlotte (Lottie) also works.

Whatsyourflava · 25/08/2020 12:10

Agree that Jemima would work well

ilikebooksandplants · 25/08/2020 12:33

Rupert and Emily go well together in my opinion.

I hate Grace as a middle name. It is SO overdone. I don’t mind it as a first name.

Miranda
Lucinda
Cressida

Thanks all.
As I said upthread, Grace is a family name (it's actually my middle name) so it's staying out.
A lot of these arnt to my taste but I appreciate the ideas. Jemima definitely isn't for me, although a lovely name.
Lots to think about.
Its so difficult to name a child and my Rupert isn't the 'standard' Rupert bless him so I think that's why a few names suggested don't fit for me but seem like they would!

I think Mabel Grace sounds lovely, and I think Rupert and Mabel go really well together. Very cute.

My cousin has a Rupert and his sister is Bridget.

icouldwriteabook · 25/08/2020 20:13

I love Mabel Grace.
I love Nancy grace
I like Edith grace

But I mostly love Nancy. Or Mabel. Nancy first

Hated it the first time I heard it, now I think it’s so cute and definitely an ‘grows with the age’ name.

Whatever you choose your children will be so cute together

AdelaidePlace · 26/08/2020 10:45

Sorry I don’t like Mabel and another name I think truly awful is Maud.

Imogen, Harriet, Elizabeth, Lucy and Rose are favourites here.

Persephone

00Sassy · 27/08/2020 07:41

I’ve looked through and don’t think it’s been mentioned yet so I’d like to suggest Heidi.

Congratulations on your news of a sister for Rupert!

Romilly and Rupert would sound so cute!

Some others that you may like are: Opal, Emma, Tessa, Ottillie, Norah, Viviane, Odette, Elanora, Margo and Pippa.

Mabel Grace is absolutely stunning though so if you like it, I say go with that!
