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…

Have you tried out the names on your dd? Does one suit her more than the others?

They are all perfectly lovely names for a little girl.

You'll never find a name everyone likes. It's also not their child. If you like Mabel use Mabel. It's quite popular these days, nr 58th in 2021 and more common than Rose as a first name, so a perfectly reasonable choice.

If wanting other ideas, I thought of Mirabel, Daphne and Audra.

I couldn't decide either and agonised between the name I liked the most, and a family name I felt would make my family happier. I decided outside the registry office! Went with the one I like the most and don't regret it.

All of those names are lovely. You could use all if you wanted and have 2 middle names.

You could make Rose into Rosalind/Rosa/Rosalie if you wanted an alternative but I think Phoebe Mabel Surname is my pick.

It's your child OP, don't worry about the reactions of others. Your baby will suit their name.

Having said that, I do think all your names are lovely.

I love Mabel

Margot?

I love Rose and Phoebe.

Congratulations, I’m sure whatever you choose will be the perfect name.

Rose is beautiful. And won't date.

I agree Rose is beautiful

Not keen on Mabel, I know of three dogs and a cat with this name so that’s probably why

I also have a Phoebe (3) and her 1yo brother calls her Bebe, which she loves!

Phoebe or Rose

@Fashiontatts @Pebbleinthesand we also have a Phoebe who is called Bebe 😁

I think Mabel is lovely

Oooh I can see why you’re stuck. I love all of your top three choices, and also Maeve! I can’t choose between Mabel and Phoebe for my favourite.

A nice alternative to Pheebs! 🤍 there's clearly lots of Phoebe's but we're yet to meet another in person

I love Rosie. I'm not a fan of Rose; I think it's a bit overdone especially as a middle name, but Rosie is lovely.

Rosamund (nn Rose/Rosie) Mable Surname (love Rosamund Pike!)
Rosalind (nn Rose/Rosie) Dorothea Surname
Rosemary (nn Rose/Rosie) Eloise Surname

Alternatives: Maude Beatrix Theodora Althea

Phoebe Rose sounds nice together.

Love love Mabel, it's an absolutely beautiful name, would defo be my choice. Phoebe is quite nice too, I'd say. Rose and Rosie are lovely too though, I quite like them as first names and not middle names.

My vote is definitely for Mabel but all 3 names are really pretty in my opinion so you can't choose wrong! See what fits best on your baby girl

Mabel without a doubt

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.

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

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!
