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!

Maud. For those with long memories, there was a famous Mumsnet Maud and I’ve loved the name ever since.

Edith.

My granddaughter, aged 18 months was given the name Alma as her middle name, that was my late mums name and my daughter was very close to her so it’s was a lovely gesture. I did think it was rather old fashioned but my son then told me that two of his friends have names their daughter Alma as their first name.

Ethel
Martha (which happens to be my neighbour’s cat’s name!)

I love Mabel.

Not used as a dog name around me, and I wouldn’t be bothered by that if it were. It’s not a dog name as such.
