Re: Thoughts on Mabel
in reply to a message by lac
I've always liked it for its retro charm. And my mother knew an older lady whose names were Zoe Mabel, which is delightful - Mabel Zoe is also good. I was at school with a Mabel Leigh who went by Leigh; there must have been a strong family tradition because her elder sisters were Stephanie Leigh and Eileen Mabel! I do prefer Mabel with Zoe ... and I'd like May as a nn better than the hesitant Mabie.
