I think, to go with those siblings, I'd pick Mabel. Maude is so serious and Mabel is so smiley, I think Mabel would lighten things up

Maude

I like Mabel better but Maude fits in better with those names.

Maude is much less pedestrian and more in the league of Josephine and Jamesina.
Mabel might go better with the boy names. I don't care for Mabel because the sound is so clunky to my ears, maybe because of the concrete rhyming words.

Well, Mabel fits in better with the siblings' names, especially with Josephine and Jamesina, but I prefer Maude. Mabel is a bit too sweet sounding - it reminds me of maple syrup. Maude sounds more sturdy and sophisticated. In comparison to popular names like Isabella and Kaylee, which tend to be frilly or "sweet", Maude is a daring, unexpected choice these days.

Have you considered May/Mae? I prefer it to Mabel, and it would sound great with the other names.

I think that's a quite mismatched sibset - Josephina and Jamesina are quite old fashioned, Cavan and Callaghan are quite modern and Wason is really unusual.

---

I personally prefer Mabel, but since the sibset is so diverse anyway, I think either would sound fine.

Maude

---

all the way. Mabel can't hold up with Josephine and Jamesina

Mabel sounds WAY nicer... though I prefer Mavelle (dif. form of same name and w/ an ah sound instead of an ay sound).

With that sibset--Maude

---

I prefer Mabel, though.

Mabel

I like Maude too though.

Mabel!!

Interesting sibset. How is Cavan pronounced? And does Wason rhyme with Jason?

Mabel.

Mabel, defintely.

I like Mabel more but I think Maude works better with the siblings.
