Mabel

[SAEJ]

Ok, meant to ask this when I asked about my possible DS name of Herbie but now - what do you think of Mabel? Not even sure if this is the correc spelling yet - heard it last week and love it.

I love Mabel.

Sorry, not keen.

Bloody awful sorry!!

My MIL is called Mabel.

Thanks all - pro and against - much prefer an honest opinion - even if it is bad!! I still think I like it - I am a ponce anyway so it seems like it will be just right!

I love it too

Although for some bizarre reason, it's a name I associate with a cow...you know, like 'Neddy' as a classic horse, 'Kitty' for a cat and 'Fido' for a dog. But that def wouldn't put me off...it's a v sweet name (& it's a v sweet Jersey sort of cow that I picture...poss with a straw hat & a flower in its mouth!!!)

Martha is nice but in my job we get a lot of kids' birth certificates sent through...& certainly in my area, Martha is fast becoming one of the most common names for little girls. Mabel, however, I only saw one of all this year

Like it - but reminds me of a tv show where they said they called their daughter mabel as Mothers Always Bring Extra Love

My mum used to childmind a little girl called Amabel (prounced like Annabel but with a M) which is apparently a derivative of Mabel. I always thought it was pretty.

PLUS for anyone saying it's too old ladyish....if she grows up to feel the same, she can always shorten it to Mae or Bel...or even Bella if she wanted to - plenty of 'trendier' options there

Yup, still think I am sold on it - BoyMeetsWorld - you must see some AMAZING names if you get to review birth certificates - am glad to see Mable is still unusual - am going to use a more ordinary middle name - possibly Sarah so she can always use that if she hates Mabel!

Hmmm.. I like it but i wouldn't use it. Cute on a 3 year old, not so on a 13 year old.

Love it.

I like it.

I don't see how why it wouldn't work on a 13 yr old. How is it different from Annabel or Isabel? WE're just more used to those ones on people who don't have a tartan rug over their knees.

Not so long ago peopel would have been @ Edith or Violet...Mable is very up and comming.

all time fave girl's name

(sigh......and I have 3 dd's.....none called Mabel......bigger sigh...!)

I think it will be popular in the next few years. That's my prediction anyway. To my mind, it's okayish but I think there are prettier names.

I love Mabel but have a surname starting with M so am being put off. Cant believe it is becoming popular! Thought i'd found an uncommon name!

i like mabel, but it was my grans name and my great was a queen amongst bitter and twisted cows.

ramonaquimby Oh pleeeeeeeeeease have another little ds and call him Mabel lol!!

Love Mabel and rather like Maybelle spelling for nn's and is pretty. Not sure which spelling I'd go with tbh, Mabel is on my shortlist...

How come Mabel is ok but nobody like Quintus?

(Yes I AM still sulking days later)

I keep suggesting Ada as well but nobody will listen to me

"maybe it's Maybelline"

don't ask, I don't know why, it's the first thing I thought of.
