Sibling for Mabel

Sibling for Mabel.

What do you think of Ethan or Elliot for a boy? We are struggling got a boys name, due in 6 weeks!

I think they both work but neither feel as classic as Mabel. They're all from quite different categories of names imo, Mabel= traditional, Ethan= Biblical (and revived recently), Elliot= Surname. Both good options though. Other ideas could be

Elias
Eli
Seth
Reuben
Otto
Asa

Like Ethan, hate Elliott.

Ellis?
I actually think Ethan or Elliott would be fine though.

I like both names. I wouldn't say they "go" with Mabel though. Mabel is quite quaint and old fashioned and sweet, whereas Ethan and Elliott seem very modern.

I would choose:
Mabel and George
Mabel and Arthur
Mabel and Freddie
Mabel and Peter
Mabel and Rupert

I think they are quite different styles. With Mabel I would think:

Stan, Fred, Hughie, Walter, Alfred, Archibald, Cecil, Albert, Percy, Edward, Jack, Oliver,

Both are nice enough names but I agree with pp that because Mabel is so retro/vintage I'd expect her brother to either be something very traditional sounding - Henry, John, Edward, William, Frederick, Robert, Hugh etc or similarly retro/vintage - Alfred, Wilfred, Albert, Edmund etc.

Sorry, but you can't call Mabel's brother Frederick

I like both Ethan and Elliott.

Other suggestions:
Ernie/Ernest
Stanley
Patrick
Samson
Luke

Love Ethan

Sorry, but you can't call Mabel's brother Frederick

Why not?

Elliot is a lovely name and quite old fashioned in itself.

Unless Im missing something obvious, I love Mabel and Fred together. They're my imaginary donkeys.

Pirates of Penzance.

Ok, maybe there are so few G&S fans nowadays that it won't matter

I prefer Ethan.

I know Elliot is used quite a lot as a first name (I know a couple), but it still feels like a surname to me.

What about Elijah?

I prefer Elliot.

What about:

George
Ben
Joss
Thomas

First thoughts were Seth, Ned, Angus, Jethro, Kitt.

I think Elliot goes better with Mabel IMO
Other suggestions...
Evan
Emerson
Liam
Oscar
Benjamin
Caleb
Asher
Jasper
Jesse
Timothy
Felix

Something similarly 1920s/30s, like Cedric, Walter or Fred.

I like Mabel & Oliver.
Flows off the tongue nicely.

Elliott

I have a Mabel and Arthur
