sister for Mabel

[misshoppy]

I like PPs ideas of Olive, Juniper, and Sally.

I think a one or three syllable name (depending on where emphasis falls) will sound better with Posey. I love the ideas of Hazel and Sadie, but they rhyme too much with Mabel for my taste.

Other thoughts:
Jane
Frances
Phillipa (nn Pippa)
Grace
Martha
Getrude (nn Trudy, so cute!)
Marguerite
Virginia
Georgia
Winifred

i like many of your names and although i like both names separately i think that Primrose Posey is a little but when together

The first thing that came to mind was:
Mabel Mazarine & Cora Clementine. This is actually the name of another berry's dd. Sorry Sarahsays! I'm not stealing the idea, but I do think it would be a great sib set.

Eden also has the 'up to date' nn of Edie that you like, although I think Mabel and Edith sounds gorgeous! Some others with Edie nicknames are:
Eda
Edana
Edeline
Since I love Mabel, I'll suggest some of my other faves:
Eliza
Nora
Lucia
Nellie
Stella
Violet
Freya
Adeline

Good luck, let us know what you choose!

I actually know a family with a Mabel and a June!

Mabel and Juniper would be sweet- but I like Mabel and Juno even more!

Mabel and Elodie
Mabel and Nancy
Mabel and Wren
Mabel and Harriet (Mabes and Hattie- so sweet!)

Oh, just read your last post and have to say- If you don't want to go for another fusty name to go with Mabel, I would strike off Beatrix for sure, and maybe even Edith!
The others on your list strike a less 'matchy' chord, in that they aren't 'fusty stylish' but are more stylish vintage...weird way of explaining myself but hopefully you get what I mean.

Other 'stylish' names:

Mabel and Lilac
Mabel and Xanthe
Mabel and Bryony/Briony
Mabel and Celeste
Mabel and Clara
Mabel and Livia
Mabel and Adelie
Mabel and Coralie (I think French names sound beautiful alongside a Mabel)
Mabel and Anouk
Mabel and Sasha
Mabel and Brigitte (Bridie)
Mabel and Neve
Mabel and Sorcha (Anglicized Celtics choices)

Eden nn Edie would be beautiful! Juniper also popped into my head... I think it sounds great with maple but still its modern!

[sugarfoot]

Oooh I love the suggestion of Mabel & Lilac!

[lineska]

I met an Edita today and thought of this thread! Edita nn Edie?

[coffeeandcashmere]

And the Berries come through yet again! We love so many of these suggestions, and we've narrowed our list down to a few names (and variations).

Right now, we really love:

Cora Clementine (but if Sarahsays is uncomfortable with us using the name, we won't)
Coralie Clementine
Cora Poesy
Juno Poesy
Primrose Poesy (would Romy work as a nickname for Primrose? If not, we like Rosie, too.)
Lilac Poesy

Thanks!
