I love the name Mabel, but my only reservation is there are quite a few dogs called Mabel (yes im picky!!). Any other similar vibe names anyone could recommend? Thank you!

might be ridiculous but Mabel makes me think of staff in a big house - maybe look at names from Downton Abbey or books from early 1900s.

But also I wouldn't worry about the dog thing and just use Mabel tbh.
Have never met a dog called Mabel! I do know 2 teen girls with this name :)

I don't know a single dog called Mabel but there are a few Mabels in our baby groups. Maybe it's just the area we live in but the majority of babies we know have these classic, somewhat old-fashioned names (our baby included!). Grace, Lily, Elsie, Phoebe, Ivy and Nola are all very popular. Just go with Mabel if you like it, the fact that somebody, somewhere in the world may have a pet called that should be irrelevant to your decision as I imagine the same applies to any name you can think of.

Just use it, it's a gorgeous name!

To me Mabel is the same vibes as

Elsie
Margot
Maeve
Audrey
Agnes
Ivy
Violet
Olive
Edie
Winnie (maybe short for Winter?)
Etta
Sylvie

I love Mabel.
When I was having DS 14yrs ago my list of girls names were

Mabel
Mavis
Edith (was going to be shorten to Edie)
Mollie
Norma

These names didn't seem so cool/popular 14yrs ago.
