Sylvie and Mabel :)

Sylvie and Mabel.

Margot has a clunky sound, imo. It's too different from the softer sound of Sylvie.

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 16/03/2024 15:44

Mabel

Mabel

Margot and Sylvie makes them sound like uber chic Parisian girls so Margot gets my vote!

Mabel is really popular lately for dog names.

Sylvie and Mabel
but both Mabel and Margot are kind of trendy

Sylvie and Mabel.

I really dislike Margot plus it’s everywhere and feels a bit faddy.

Tinysoxxx · 16/03/2024 17:11

Mabel

Trying shouting them for dinner. Sylvie and Mabel are easier to say as they are softer sounds.

Sylvia and Margot go too.

nanasui · 16/03/2024 21:00

Sylvie and Margot are beautiful together

NellyCortado · 16/03/2024 21:34

Sylvie and Margot. Beautiful names

Showmethemoneyyy · 16/03/2024 21:37

Sylvie and Margot.

Mabel is a bit fusty.

Mumofgirls2017 · 16/03/2024 22:21

Sylvie and Margot v tied to ballerinas?

if not commuted go for Sylvia and Mabel. I prefer that personally but just me!

SkaneTos · 16/03/2024 23:19

I like the name Margot better,
but both Margot and Mabel are lovely names!

everly · 17/03/2024 14:24

Thanks everyone,

I really like the French connection of Sylvie and Margot but think Mabel might actually be the better choice...

For those who mentioned Sylvia, I don't like that unfortunately.

Sylvie and Mabel but both Mabel and Margot go well with Sylvie.

What about:
Sylvie Margot
Mabel Serena/Susannah/Sienna/Sophia

or
Sylvie Mabel
Margot Sadie/Sorrell/Sophie/Sabine

Nicebloomers · 19/03/2024 19:04

I like Sylvie and Margot best, but Mabel is lovely too.

Quornflakegirl · 19/03/2024 19:30

Sylvie and Margot are lovely.
My twin girls are turning 12, good luck!

FangsForTheMemory · 19/03/2024 19:54

Sylvie is lovely but Mabel is a dowdy old lady name, to me. What About Mireille?

Sleepnplay · 19/03/2024 23:06

Sylvie and Mabel, much nicer than Margot imo.

RogueFemale · 20/03/2024 02:45

I agree with @FangsForTheMemory Mabel is dowdy. Yes, I know old fashioned names can be great but Mabel still sounds like a granny. And if I were the one called Mabel I'd be annoyed my twin got a much prettier name. She'd have to be a stunner to carry it off as an adult.

jupps · 22/03/2024 17:53

I think Sylvie is such an amazing name

If I had to pick Margot or Mabel I would probably pick Margot as my friend had a housekeeper called Mabel who was an older lady.
