It feels like a sister name to [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] to me, and I’ve heard of two or three little Mabels in the last five years or so [name_f][/name_f]- so maybe [name_f]Gladys[/name_f] is ready to be used again too. It veers a little towards [name_f]Mildred[/name_f] and [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] territory to me though, as in maybe just a tad too clunky to use as a first name, but I do see the appeal at the same time. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] has similar sounds and I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] a lot.
