yes, Scout would def suit her. Still think you should just start using it as her "nickname"

DS does say Mavis nicely actually- I tested him on all my names on my list to see which ones he could say lol.

I do like Mabel as well

I like all of those, if we have a girl it'll prob have Alice as middle name

controlfreaky2jocasta · 09/07/2007 22:02

oh no fees, "are you able, mabel?", not spinstery at all......

TaylorsMummy · 09/07/2007 22:03

don't do mabel!! might be sweet/cute/funny on a little girl in a boden dress but she won't like it when she's a teenager/grown woman!!

elasticbandstand · 09/07/2007 22:06

Mathilda or Mathilde here in Denmark is often shortened to Tilda/Tilde (as in Tilda Swinton). I like
We have a long surname and we have a Clementine - she is always Clemmie. And we have a Theo, so I like Thea
