Baby no.2 name

Currently in first trimester with baby number 2. Have a daughter called Mabel, so will be looking for a name ‘similar’ for either a girl or a boy.

I like semi unusual but not too out there! 🙈

How old is Mabel?
Asking because it has shot up in popularity since 2016, and wondered if you wanted something just outside the top 200 names or just outside the top 50.

A few of those may be a bit too popular for you but have the same vintage feel as Mabel, which is pretty popular itself these days anyway.

Thanks everyone! Mabel is 2, definitely becoming more popular!

Arthur seems to be on lots of lists which we both like. And definitely more names for us to consider, thank you :)
