Mabel Kate is beautiful! Really nice list, too.

I really like Lillian, Flora and Alma best from your list.

Tessa and Frances are two other names which I think would go nicely with Mabel.

Lilian Alma Flora are absolutely lovely.

Not keen on Heather and Mathilda (Tilly) is ok but very popular

FreeAcorns · 29/10/2020 20:11

I like Olive and Flora best.

17caterpillars1mouse · 29/10/2020 20:14

Love Olive, Flora, Florence, Alma and Lillian

Alma is especially lovely

Matilda is so so popular in my local area that I now find it boring, which is a shame as it is a lovely name. I find Heather a bit dated. Do you like Hazel?

If it were me I'd go with Mabel and Olive or Mabel and Alma

Bettyboop82 · 29/10/2020 20:16

I love Olive

dementedma · 29/10/2020 20:17

I was going to suggest Hazel too. Or Ruby

paintedpanda · 29/10/2020 20:21

I have a Flora (10). It's a beautiful name Smile

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 29/10/2020 20:29

I think Flora is lovely and goes best with Mabel, closely followed by Lilian.
Alma is okay and would also fit well.
I quite like Matilda and Florence but they have both become rather popular recently if that matters to you?
I don't like Olive, sorry and I think Heather is very 70's/80's feeling in comparison to Mabel.

mylittleavalon · 29/10/2020 20:32

Do like your list especially Flora and Alma. What about Astrid, Josephine or Stella?

20viona · 29/10/2020 20:34

Alma is a rare one, reminds me of Corrie 😂 I quite like it! But I'm one of those people who wanted to name my daughter a name that no one else in her class was likely to have (not especially wild though) Olive is really popular right now.

FallonCarringtonWannabe · 29/10/2020 20:37

Olive

Oneandabean · 29/10/2020 20:39

Flora and heather are my favourite

PinkJellycat · 29/10/2020 20:40

I came on to suggest Hazel too!

I like Matilda the best from your list, second Heather.

dementedma · 29/10/2020 20:41

Olive and Mabel are the names of Andrew Cotter’s two dogs - now internet sensations. There is a book out Calle Olive, Mabel and me.
Quite a lot of people follow his videos and will make that association

Sawyersfishbiscuits · 29/10/2020 20:41

I like Olive the best.
I also think Kitty would be nice

meggy22 · 29/10/2020 21:09

Thank you all. My favourites are Alma, Lilian or Olive. Josephine is really nice actually. I like Hazel but it’s a no way from dh. Kitty is lovely too but we know a Kitty.

I like Olive the best. Lovely name

Ladderofyears · 29/10/2020 22:19

Mabel Kate is gorgeous.

Olive - I quite like it, not sure
Flora/ Florence - Flora is lovely. I like Florence too. I think Flora maybe fits a bit better.
Alma - not keen at all. Prefer Alba but I think it might be too close to the sound of Mabel
Lilian - I like it
Matilda (maybe too similar to Mabel?) - I like it a lot but it does seem to start an M theme
Heather - lovely

I would pick Flora Olive or Heather Lillian.

Goawayquickly · 29/10/2020 22:23

The only one I like is Kate. The rest to me are dull and old fashioned. Flora is ok.
Alma is awful to me.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/10/2020 22:29

I don’t like the name but Flora sounds gorgeous with Mabel.
In preference though I’d say Heather. That’s very pretty.
