I’m going against the status quo and vote [name_f]Maple[/name_f] as my favourite
I love [name_f]Maple[/name_f] she’s sweet, bright, spunky, has lovely nature associations and feels unexpected. I also like the whole southern [name_f]Belle[/name_f] vibe [name_f]Maple[/name_f] has going on she’s just charming. [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is really pretty but my favourite is [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f].
In relation to [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] & [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] I think [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] feels like a more natural fit. Where I live [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u] & [name_f]Isla[/name_f] are favourites amongst parents so this would be a very predictable sibling set incredibly cohesive. Whereas [name_f]Maple[/name_f] does feel a little unexpected.
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] fits so well with [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]! I prefer it to [name_f]Maple[/name_f], which is okay as a cute boho middle name but reminds me far too much of the syrup to be a first name
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] definitely “fits” more with [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. I love it!
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] are beautiful middles, but I like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] best with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. With one of the other two, I think it’s too many “bel” syllables for one combo.
I adore [name_f]Maple[/name_f]! It’s so cheerful and lovable but also gives you a peaceful forest vibe. I like that it’s a tree and I also like that it’s more unique than [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] feels almost heavy next to the delightful [name_f]Maple[/name_f]. Also, [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is getting pretty popular. Which almost makes it a better choice, since [name_f]Maple[/name_f] may be mistaken for [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. I really like the nature-y vibe of [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] too. [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] & [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] are beautiful names, but they don’t flow as well with Maple/Mabel as [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. Maybe [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] works, actually.
I love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Maple[/name_f] doesn’t appeal to me as much, I just don’t love that ape sound personally.
I’d say [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] fits in perfectly with [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Maple[/name_f] feels a bit more modern American à la [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] or [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].
[name_f]Maple[/name_f] is a guilty pleasure of mine. I think [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] works better with [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Maple[/name_f] works better with [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Maple[/name_f], as personally [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] fits with like older [name_f]English[/name_f] names like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] etc which I’ve never really liked? I’m into more common but modern names such as [name_u]Dakota[/name_u] and names that are commoner but spelt slightly different, like [name_f]Kaela[/name_f] instead of Kayla…
