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…

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

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.

I think Phoebe and Rosie are lovely.

Suggestions:
Hazel
Lucy
Chloe
Daphne
Lara
Edith
Annabel
Tamsin
Cora

Kate
Emma
Dorothy

Flora
Ivy

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.
Others you may like:
Marnie
Connie
Martha
Cara, Cora, Kiera
June
Jennifer (Jenny)

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

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

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

Have you considered Hester?

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

Love Mabel

Rose is lovely. Suits all ages.

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!

Use all three names:

Mabel Phoebe Rose
Phoebe Mabel Rose

I prefer Mabel to Phoebe, and I love Rose.

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

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.

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

@hjwin

I love Mabel heard lots of Phoebe's recently
So I'd say Mabel or Rosie
