What do you think of when you hear the name...?

Question

Mabel? Do you like that name?

Answer 1

Love it.

It's one of those so-out-it's-in-again names. It has the "el" ending that skyrocketed Isabel and Gabrielle to the top of the charts, but like Hazel, has yet to take off.

It's sophisticated and fun - a tough combo to find. And Mab is a great nickname, as is Bel. She won't be one in a million, but everyone will recognize her name.

I'd use it without reservation.

Answer 2

I think Mabel is quite unique and mature....and very uncommon. There are way too many Mckayla's, Mckenzie's, and Brianna's. These names are for little girls so dont be discouraged if Mabel is thought of as old..she'll probably turn out to be a mature young lady.

Answer 3

I think it is an old fashioned name. I don't particularly care for it because the only person I ever knew named Mabel was kind of mean. A lot of old fashioned names are popular again though. Especially Grace.

Answer 4

My great-aunt Mabel.

Answer 5

for some reason i get the image of a cow. a cow named Mabel, i don't know why!! but yea, it also sounds like an old lady name.

Answer 6

Mabel, sounds like a very peaceful place- very laid back,but thats just my opinion

Answer 7

It reminds me of an elderly lady and the dog on Blue Peter. I don't really like it

Answer 8

Mad About You.
HMS Pinafore
Great Aunt Mabel
Amabel

Answer 9

It reminds me of the baby on Mad About You. I like it, though, it's pretty and not something you hear anymore.

Answer 10

Little old ladies. That was my great grandma's name and I haven't met anyone younger than her with that name.
