Registering baby and have no name 🫤

[hjwin]

Hi, I’m registering my baby girl this week and I’m really stuck on names. I think sleep deprivation snd anxiety is messing with me abit to be completely honest!

Would love some opinions and advice on my options? These are:

Mabel
Phoebe
Rose/Rosie

I did like Maeve, Mila and Hattie too but they’ve been taken away from the decision.

Any names similar would be considered too!

I am leaning more to Mabel or Phoebe to be honest. I’ve had a really mixed reaction to Mabel for some reason.

Thank you in advance! I’m in complete panic mode. I have a couple days to decide…

Phoebe Rose
Mabel Helena
Mabel Audrey
Clarice Mabel
Amabel Rose
Mabelle Phoebe

Love all 3 but would use Rose not Rosie.

@hjwin

So I'd say Mabel or Rosie

Thea
Ayla

[Marymary987]

How about Rosa? I really like Phoebe too but it’s quite popular.

[KirstenBlest]

Try saying the name and surname together
like Mabel Win (use actual surname not Win)
Phoebe Win
Rose Win
Rosie Win.

One should click as the right one.

Write a few different cards and practice signing off with all of your names including options for new baby .. does one look/feel right??

[DramaAlpaca]

Use all three names:

Mabel Phoebe Rose
Phoebe Mabel Rose

I prefer Mabel to Phoebe, and I love Rose.

[Likeagibbon]

Love Rose/Rosie. I know a young girl with the name Rosie-Rouge, and despite not usually liking hyphenated names, I think it is quite a cute and unusual name, but not too crazy, and can still be shortened to Rose or Rosie! Good luck in your name choice!

[LulooLemon]

Rose is lovely. Suits all ages.

[whoisbruno]

Love Mabel

[Sadiegirl87]

I'm in the same boat but have settled on Lucy, I also had Phoebe and Rose on my list.
I would go for Phoebe out of those two.
If you like Rosie I'd still go for Rose and give her the nn Rosie.
Hopefully you come to a decision soon

[DisforDarkChocolate]

Have you considered Hester?

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Not keen on Mabel. But the Welsh name Mabli means loveable. Mabli Rose goes nicely.

[ChildrenOfTheQuorn]

I know a baby Phoebe, a baby Rosie (more than one actually) and a child Mabel. If probably go with Phoebe or Mabel tbh.

[Willowtre1]

I don't like Phoebe, I think Mabel is quite sweet but I do think of cats. Rose is lovely but I'm not keen on Rosie.

What about-

Laurel
Allegra
Penelope
Iris
Livi
Tabitha
Celeste
Isobel
Jemima

[ODFOx]

I love Phoebe and Mabel.
I don't think Mabel is any more ' old lady' than Phoebe, but I had a great-Grandmother called Phoebe.

[hadwebutworldenoughandtime]

Associations with names come from people we have known/ heard of with that name hence 'old lady' names, 'stripper' names etc. Once people start calling their babies with those names we form new associations.

It's not a surprise that names that have been around for centuries may be associated to some extent with old people. It's that they were out of favour for a while that we don't also associate them with young people but this changes as they are used more frequently.

[KirstenBlest]

I really like Doris and Maud, and know a lovely Mabel, but I can't not see Mabel as someone in her 90s

[hadenoughforever]

I like Rose or Rosie from your list.
Don’t like Mabel at all; I’m of an age that I remember the Mabel Lucy Atwell books and to me it was a name that was of my Grandma’s era (Sorry Grandma, loved you didn’t like the name Doris and your friends names Mabel and Maude).

Hope everything goes well!

[KirstenBlest]

Mabel - I don't like it, seems frumpy
Phoebe - like it
Rose/Rosie - would use Rose on BC but prefer Rosie.

Could I throw Kate/Katie in?

Opened thread to suggest Clint, and not RTFT.
CONGRATULATIONS on baby Clintona

[anunlikelyseahorse]

You can simply register your baby as 'baby'. There is a small admin charge for adding the name later iirc. Our dc wasn't named till 12 weeks...
Congrats on your new born.

[GladysGeorgina]

Mabel without a doubt
