WDYT of Sable?

skittleblu · October 2010

Do you like it? Does it make you think boy or girl?

mj.reilly:
Thanks to a poster on here, and her absolutely adorable daughter Sable ... I have grown to kind on like it.
Definitely girl.
While it is not my style, I like the sound of it. There is something appealing about it. The Bump has also helped my like the name Basil even more.

This.

I've grown to like it because of a poster and her gorgeous daughter.

Echoing MJ--It's NMS, but I definitely like it.

I think of (can't remember her handle) the bumpie with a precious little girl named Sable. I think it's pretty.

alliejo725 · October 2010

Yes

Though I wouldn't use it, I love it on a girl. It's a great name.

Makes me think of a paint brush or a fur coat.

But, if I had to choose, girl.

Girl

Sounds like a stripper name

CourtneyRDH · October 2010

It reminds me of a stable. I don't like it at all.

I guess I don't know of the Bumpie that people are referring to... I don't know anyone with this name, but I am not a fan. I would think it would be for a girl, though.

A girl whose parents misspelled Sadie

Sabel is my maiden name and Everyone thinks I should name a future little girl Sabel but all I think of the the wrestler chick who is married to Brock Lesner..

Huh? That, I don't get. Sable is an actual word.

I LOVE IT! I think its beautiful on a girl but I do get asked "boy or girl" when saying her name.

Thank you to PP's for saying my DD's adorable! It made my day.

It's an old name and it's used around the world. In French it means "Sand", it's an old English word meaning "black", it's a type of animal that fur coats are made from, it's an Island. In Italy it's a NN for Isabel (E-su-BEL shortened to suh-BEL)

It's Easy to spell say and remember without being weird. and there were only 19 babies born with that name in the U.S. the same year my DD was born, so not a lot of kids at school with the same names.

It's not for everyone but I've loved it since I was a kid. My family has warmed up to it well.

EDIT: It's interesting to see what people think of the name. I didn't ask anyone's opinion before naming DD because I knew that was her name, 100%. I never thought I'd have a kid with such an uncommon name, I would have named her Emma if that was the name I loved.

It doesn't sound like a person's name to me.

A sable is an animal...a weasel i believe... Ick!

They make fur coats from them..definitely not a name ofr a child!

LyndseylovesHugh · October 2010

I love the name. I had never heard it until I saw the poster with the cute little girls with the pretty eyes name Sable, but after I saw it I instantly added it to my list! So cute and not a name you hear everyday!

k*princess · October 2010

I think of girl, because of the Bumpie who has a daughter named Sable. I agree that her daughter is absolutely adorable, but I honestly don't like the name at all. I think of paintbrushes and of stables, and I just don't think it's very pretty...

Disneygeek77 · October 2010

Honestly, I think of a car. I think the Mercury company made a car named the Sable.

braveangel2 · October 2010

Thanks to our resident Bumpie, I now consider Sable the epitomy of what unique actually means. It's a real name, familiar thanks to the word, only charted in the top 1000 for one year. I've only recommended it once because I thought it fit the poster well...I wouldn't recommend it every time though.

And I agree with PP - seeing that beautiful girl almost every day is a great reason to love this name!

I do believe there is a popular pornstar with that name

This is the girl I am thinking of

notkateanymore · October 2010

Makes me think of Stable...not a good name for anybody.
