Sibling for Mabel

We’ll be hopefully TTC baby number 2 next year. Looking for some name inspiration, my taste is quite old fashioned. DD is called Mabel.

DS likes Arthur for a boy, which I don’t dislike but don’t love either.

Girls names we quite like Thea and Olive.

Any suggestions?

I think Martha for a girl or Walter for a boy would go well with Mabel (love the name Mabel by the way, it was one of our shortlisted girls names when I was pregnant but had a boy).

Mabel is lovely

For a girl I like Olive or how about Violet

For a boy I find Arthur overused and dull in comparison. How about

I have a Mabel and a Stanley! And other kids too but they were one year apart and I felt like their names flowed nicely.

I also like Hector and Sidney.

Love Arthur too

First name that jumped to my head was Hannah, not particularly old fashioned but Mabel and Hannah sounds quaint
