Mirabel
Mirabel is another name from The Starless Sea that's growing on me. What do you think?

I love it.
Don't like it, sounds like a mirror bell or mirror ball
I like it okay, but I prefer just Mira.
Slightly off-topic but I hadn't heard of The Starless Sea and, being a fan of Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, I looked it up... seems to have some strong similarities to Sunless Seas. I was ready to be angry but I guess the author and the game studio are friendly and the similarities were approved. So now I'm adding it to my to-read because I love the Sunless games.
If you're a fan of the book I recommend checking out the games (though they definitely lean more towards horror): https://www.failbettergames.com/sunless-skies/
They're frequently on sale on Steam fyi

I haven't played Sunless Sea/Skies but I have played Fallen London and I loved it. The Starless Sea is a bit different, it's not so much steampunk horror as a sort of dreamy dark academia/fantasy tribute to books and stories.
Love those vibes!
How embarrassing! I've got The Starless Sea (wonderful title) on my shelf, I've read it from cover to cover, but I can hardly remember anything about it, especially not a character named Mirabel. As a name, I feel a bit uneasy about it - what if a Mirabel person was bland and beige and forgettable? And, isn't there a man called Mirabel in some or other 18th century comedy? Though it may well have been his ln, of course...
It looks unfinished, I prefer Mirabelle.
Oh I have the book right here but haven't had a chance to read it yet. It will probably make me like the name, books usually do. Unless the character is awful.
It is cute but doesn't really do anything for me as of now. I like Maribel better, it feels more grown up.
My favorite is Isabel, Isabelle and I also like Annabel.

It's my favorite book, I hope you enjoy it! And she's a really cool character.
Thanks! I will read it once I finish the book I am reading now :)
