My daughter’s name

[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I just had our 5th and last child. We couldn’t agree on a name for the last 9 months. It was more him he didn’t like anything I picked. Finally he decided on Mablemarie (Mable spelled like that because that was my grandmothers name) he didn’t like the hyphen and he didn’t want her to just be called [name_f]Mable[/name_f]. We put her first name as Mablemarie no middle name & then our last name. Was this a bad decision ? I’m nervous for responses. I haven’t told anybody her name yet , but her birth certificate has already been submitted.

I think its cute!

Mablemarie all together might seem a little odd written down at first, however when said outloud its super cute, and its the clearest way to make sure everyone knows her name is Mablemarie and not just [name_f]Mable[/name_f].

Mablemarie is beautiful! it’s unique and rolls off the tongue nicely :blush: and most importantly it is meaningful to you and your husband. [name_f]My[/name_f] advice is to share the name with pride, if you show uncertainty or hesitation it could cause ppl to question your choice more (even if secretly there’s some anxiety there)

I think it’s a sweet way to honor your grandmother. Mablemarie is very unique so you might get some surprised reactions but I don’t think it was a bad decision to use this name.

Wow thank you so much everybody! Your responses have made me feel a lot better about my decision. I am happy I decided to ask for advice. She is 6 days old and I actually can’t think of a better name for her. She’s meant to be Mablemarie! Thank you all

Huge congratulations!

I think the name is super cute with a southern [name_f]Belle[/name_f] feel :dress:

Mablemarie is lovely - it’s pleasing to say, gives you plenty of nickname options, and feels distinctive but familiar at the same time

I like it and I think it will be easy for people to get. Congrats!

I think it’s really, really cute. Some people may assume it’s a typo if they read it, but I wouldn’t let that stop me. if it truly bothers you, maybe just change her legal name to [name_f]Mable[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], and let your husband call her both names. Good luck!!:heartpulse:

I just saw your follow up- I’m so glad you feel relief about het name! it’s such a sweet name, so share it with pride.

Mablemarie sounds beautiful!
Congratulations!!!

You do have up to a year to change her name (one time) before she’s 1yr old without having to go to court or anything. If you take some time and want to give her a middle name or make [name_f]Marie[/name_f] her middle name but address it together.
The decision is up to you!!! I think this is a beautiful name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] give yourself some time with it and I’m sure it’ll come naturally and relieve some of the anxieties you’re feeling 🩷

Thank you so SO much. I am feeling so much better 🩷 :hugs:

I like it! It’s so cheerful and lovely. And I think you’ll naturally start calling her nicknames like, [name_f]Mable[/name_f], [name_f]Maymie[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], [name_f]Mari[/name_f], [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] etc as time goes on.

If it somehow doesn’t quite work - you’ve got the hyphen up your sleeve for sometime down the track, either within the year or when she starts school etc.

I think it’s wonderful! It’s so cute when said out loud and how it’s written will ensure her full name is used. We use a lot of double names in our family and mine is the only one that’s written very similar to Mablemarie, but it’s the only one that isn’t automatically shortened to just the first name, so my vote goes to the spelling as you have it!

Congratulations and share her beautiful name with pride!

It’s an adorable name with a sweet family connection! Congratulations on your little Mablemarie :sunflower::sunny::yellow_heart:
