Maybelle
I don't know if I'd actually use it in the far future, but right now it seems like a very sweet moniker, especially since I'm going through a Maybelle Carter phase. :)What do you think of it? Middle name suggestions?Thanks!

It sounds ver pretty, but Maybelle reminds me a bit too much of Maybelline (as in the cosmetics brand).

I don't like it, it reminds me too much of Maybelline cosmetics. Also, these days I'm find -belle/bella names cutesy.

Yay, another Maybelle-lover!Loooove it. It is very sweet, pink, and flowery; totally agree with that. I think of a charming little girl or lady with very genteel manners, an unassuming character, and a very darling southern drawl to her talk. :) Maybelle Virginia is WONDERFUL. And coincidentally, Maybelle Carter came from Virginia. :) Oh, that is gold, too.Maybelle Frances is darling, too. Frances really balances out the sweetness of Maybelle.Maybelle Susannah (I like the 'H' :)) is terribly cute, too.While we're helping each other out, other names I've considered are:Maybelle Dorothy
Maybelle Coralie
Maybelle Eulalia / Maybelle Eulalie
Maybelle Azalea
Maybelle Annie
Maybelle Gardenia
Maybelle Veronica
Maybelle Patsy
Maybelle Honey
Maybelle Sophonisba
Maybelle Norma

I know, isn't Maybelle Virginia awesome? I'm keeping it, but you can have it too. :)I thought Frances balanced it out well too, but Frances is already quite in use for me.Maybelle Gardenia is pretty awesome. It goes along with the pink and flowery and nice Southern old lady ness.

MabelI'm curious as to how you consider Mabel to be a trendy spelling of Maybelle? This site has Maybelle listed as a variant of Mabel, but I think of Maybelle as a combination of May and Belle and not related to Mabel at all. Mabel is its own name. I don't pronounce them the same either.

With the trend being, shove a "y" in a name to make it look different. That's what Maybelle, reminds me of. Well, that's my opinion!

Very pretty, but I prefer Mabel. Mabel is simple and sweet and Maybelle is a bit frilly and girly and reminds me of Maybelline, a company that produces rather cheap makeup for teenagers (I used to have some myself and the lipstick was terrible). But they are both awesome so you should definitely use Maybelle. How about:Maybelle Felicitas
Maybelle Rosaline
Maybelle Theodora
Maybelle Susannah
Maybelle Louisa
Maybelle Catarina
Maybelle Eliana
Maybelle Sophia
Maybelle Rosalie
Maybelle Grace
Maybelle Fay
Maybelle Zipporah
Maybelle Georgia
Maybelle Frances
Maybelle Sue
Maybelle Harriet
Maybelle Julia

Maybelle Georgia and Maybelle Rosalie are gold! Thanks!

It's got too much of a Southern feel to it for me personally.
