I've never heard this "so I says to Mabel" thing. I have heard "Mabel, Mabel, strong and able, get your elbows off the table." Anywho, I choose Frances, which I actually like. I think Mabel is heavy and depressing.

Oh man I've always heard it as "Mabel, Mabel, get your elbows off the table." I love that version much more and it makes me like Mabel even more as a name.

Hahahah I'd forgotten about the elbows. If I had a pound for every time I heard that growing up....
