MN for Mabel

Unfortunately, I can't seem to make a clicky poll work...

Mabel is the name that we are thinking of naming our DD who is due in October.  My question is what should we use as a middle name? I would love to use a family name as her MN. Laurie is my mother (and is the name I would most like to use) but I don't think it flows very well?!  Helen is DH's mother.  Dorothy and Theresa are my grandmothers, Alice is DH's grandmother and Christine is my sister-in-law. What's your opinion?

    I like Mabel Dorothy, Mabel Theresa, and Mabel Christine the best, in terms of how they sound.  I probably would choose a g-ma's name over my SIL's name though.  Mabel and Dorothy are on my list for hypothetical DD#2 so I like those best.  Mabel Theresa is too close to Mother Theresa I think?  Mabel Dorothy wins!

    I think it depends what your last name is, too. What does it start with/sound like?

    I should have added this - Last name starts with S and sounds like phone.

    I think Mabel Christine flows the best out of your list.

    What if you used a different version of one of the names, like Mabel Therese or Mabel Helena (Hel-ay-na)?

     

    ETA: My best friend's middle name is Lauryn (pronounced Luh-rynn) and I always thought it was really pretty.

    Mabel Dorothy reminds me of the Golden Girls when Bea Arthur's Son in law called her Mother Dorothy. Lol, sorry I have odd name associations.

    I vote for Mabel Christine, even though I really dislike Mabel, it's just too old lady for me.  I would say use it for a mn.

    I love the name Mabel!  From your list I prefer Mabel Christine, or Mabel Alice.  I personally like Mabel Frances.
