Comments for the name Mabel

On the TV show "Mad About You," they named their daughter Mabel after "Mothers Always Bring Extra Love." I thought that was cute.

This is a cool name, but it's pretty rare now.

Mabel Normand was a comic actress of the silent screen.

This was my grandmother's name. I think it is beautiful and I consider using it for a middle name in the future.

This name always makes me think of Queen Mab, queen of the fairies in English folklore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Mab

Normally I think of this as an old lady's name, but it kind of lacks the hideous image of certain other old lady names like Ethel, Gladys, Mildred, Bertha and Gertrude.

Wilfred Pickles the British comedian had a wife called Mabel, and it is also the name of the respective daughters of British comedienne Tracey Ullman (now a U.S. citizen) and Swedish-born singer Neneh Cherry.

It's hot.

Also a rare boy's name in the United States in the first decade of the 20th century, but now completely obsolete in that role.

Somehow I just don't like the sound of this name, and it strikes me as old-fashioned and cutesy.

I think that naming twins Sable and Mabel would be so cute!

Possibly my favorie name.
It's old-fashioned, adorable, and for me evokes the image of a bold, (if somewhat brutal) independent woman.
I consider naming a future daughter Mabel Norma, after the actress Mabel Normand, who is one of my favorite actresses.

I like it. Pretty-sounding and it always makes me think of a spunky little redhead, not an old lady. Unlike Mildred (mildew), Bertha (sickly yellow walls and rocking chair) and Gladys (creepy old lady with huge glasses and no teeth), it's a nice old-fashioned name. Look out for it making a comeback in the next 2 years.

This name is old-fashioned, but not in a musty, tired way- it's adorable, and seems fresh now because of its unpopularity for so long. Also, I love Mabel Normand!

There's something about this name that reminds me of a domestic servant or a waitress. Also, there used to be a jump rope rhyme that began with the words "Mabel, Mabel, set the table." Maybe that's where I get that strange image. I would never use it.

Bruce Willis recently named his newborn daughter Mabel.

There is a children's rhyme that goes: "Mabel, Mabel, set the table, just as fast as you are able." When I hear the name I always think of this rhyme.

There's a song called "Mistress Mabel" by the Fratellis.

I do really like this name. It's different. Maybelline does come to mind, but nonetheless I still love this name. Its very pretty.

I'm surprised nobody's kids watch this show! It's on Disney. Ask your kids who Mabel from Gravity Falls is.
