After a suggestion on our previous poll, we have decided on [name]Mabel[/name] Mazarine for one of our girls. But we still need a name for our second. We really like the middle name [name]Poesy[/name], but we can’t find a first name that we like as much as [name]Mabel[/name], and is still in the same style as [name]Mabel[/name]. Any suggestions?
Congrats! I adore the name [name]Mabel[/name]!
Some of my favorite girl names…

Oh, what about Julip? It may be too out there for you, but I think [name]Mabel[/name] and Julip would be too cute!
[name]Mabel[/name] Mazarine &…
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Poesy[/name] ([name]Mabel[/name] & [name]Eleanor[/name] are perfect together)

[name]Zelda[/name] [name]Poesy[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Posey[/name]
My first thoughts are:
[name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Greta[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]/[name]Dot[/name]
I really like the above suggestions of [name]Edith[/name], [name]Olive[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] too.
Thank you for the suggestions! I like several of these, but I’m afraid that if we use another name that is a little bit older-sounding, like [name]Mabel[/name], that our girls will sound like they are grandmothers, not newborns.
We really like:
[name]Edith[/name] (more the nickname [name]Edie[/name]. Any more “up-to-date” names with the nickname [name]Edie[/name]?)
[name]Beatrix[/name] ([name]Bea[/name] and [name]Trixie[/name] are adorable nicknames)
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Lola[/name]
[name]Libby[/name]
[name]Larue[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name]
We’ve also found the names [name]India[/name], [name]Primrose[/name], and [name]Linden[/name].
Any other suggestions? Favorites from our list? Thanks again!
I like PPs ideas of [name]Olive[/name], [name]Juniper[/name], and [name]Sally[/name].
I think a one or three syllable name (depending on where emphasis falls) will sound better with [name]Posey[/name]. I love the ideas of [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Sadie[/name], but they rhyme too much with [name]Mabel[/name] for my taste.
Other thoughts:
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Phillipa[/name] (nn [name]Pippa[/name])
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Martha[/name]
Getrude (nn [name]Trudy[/name], so cute!)
[name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name]
i like many of your names and although i like both names separately i think that [name]Primrose[/name] [name]Posey[/name] is a little but when together
[name]Eden[/name] also has the ‘up to date’ nn of [name]Edie[/name] that you like, although I think [name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Edith[/name] sounds gorgeous! Some others with [name]Edie[/name] nicknames are:
[name]Eda[/name]
[name]Edana[/name]
[name]Edeline[/name]
Since I love [name]Mabel[/name], I’ll suggest some of my other faves:
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Nellie[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
Good luck, let us know what you choose!
I actually know a family with a [name]Mabel[/name] and a [name]June[/name]!
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Juniper[/name] would be sweet- but I like [name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Juno[/name] even more!
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Nancy[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Harriet[/name] (Mabes and [name]Hattie[/name]- so sweet!)
Oh, just read your last post and have to say- If you don’t want to go for another fusty name to go with [name]Mabel[/name], I would strike off [name]Beatrix[/name] for sure, and maybe even [name]Edith[/name]!
The others on your list strike a less ‘matchy’ chord, in that they aren’t ‘fusty stylish’ but are more stylish vintage…weird way of explaining myself but hopefully you get what I mean.
Other ‘stylish’ names:
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Xanthe[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Bryony[/name]/[name]Briony[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Livia[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Adelie[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Coralie[/name] (I think French names sound beautiful alongside a [name]Mabel[/name])
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Anouk[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Sasha[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Brigitte[/name] ([name]Bridie[/name])
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Neve[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Sorcha[/name] (Anglicized Celtics choices)
[name]Eden[/name] nn [name]Edie[/name] would be beautiful! [name]Juniper[/name] also popped into my head… I think it sounds great with maple but still its modern!
I met an [name]Edita[/name] today and thought of this thread! [name]Edita[/name] nn [name]Edie[/name]?
And the Berries come through yet again! We love so many of these suggestions, and we’ve narrowed our list down to a few names (and variations).
Right now, we really love:
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Clementine[/name] (but if Sarahsays is uncomfortable with us using the name, we won’t)
[name]Coralie[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Poesy[/name]
[name]Juno[/name] [name]Poesy[/name]
[name]Primrose[/name] [name]Poesy[/name] (would [name]Romy[/name] work as a nickname for [name]Primrose[/name]? If not, we like [name]Rosie[/name], too.)
[name]Lilac[/name] [name]Poesy[/name]
Thanks!
I’m absolutely tickled pink that a few of my suggestions hit the right note.
As an added fun point about the [name]Juno[/name] [name]Poesy[/name] combination- [name]Juno[/name] was a [name]Roman[/name] goddess, and [name]Poesy[/name] is a personification of poetry, appealed to by [name]Keats[/name]- who also wrote volubly about the Greek//[name]Roman[/name] pantheon!
Like all your remaining list, actually. The least unusual choice is clearly [name]Cora[/name] (ringing in at 204 on the US register last year) but I don’t know if you mind that or not?
I do think [name]Romy[/name] can work as a nickname for [name]Primrose[/name]! Clear link between the two.
Have to say [name]Lilac[/name] [name]Poesy[/name] might be a little too flowery! A slight criticism only, however.
Good luck and let us know how the list progresses
