I have a daughter named [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and son [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. We are having another girl. [name_f]My[/name_f] top two favorites are [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f]. However I need some input. I feel like [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] sounds better with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. It also gives me a cute vibe that [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] does. But is it used as a dog name? That’s my problem. And [name_f]Opal[/name_f] I like because it’s definitely an old lady name, which I love. But is it too similar to [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]?
Which name do you think or any other suggestions

I think they both could work, I personally don’t find [name_f]Opal[/name_f] & [name_f]Mable[/name_f] too close but I could see how they could be. However I love [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] with your kids names, and I know 3 [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]’s none of which are dogs so I wouldn’t say it was a dog name!
I love both! I’ve never met a dog named [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] so I don’t get that association. I have met a human [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] who was the sweetest thing ever. She’d give you the shirt off her back, if she could.
While I love [name_f]Opal[/name_f], I do think the ending sounds are a bit too similar. It’s not terrible but I’d personally not do it.
I like [name_f]Opal[/name_f] but not fond of [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] sounds right with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] & [name_m]Arthur[/name_m].
First of all, I love your kids’ names.
On its own, I prefer [name_f]Opal[/name_f], but I agree with you, [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] definitely sounds better with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. I do not think [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is a dog name. Go for it!

I think [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] would be perfect! Definitely not a dog name imo
I’ve been loving [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] lately! It’s really sweet and goes well with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is lovely too but too close to [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. How about [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]?

I’ve never met any animal named [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], and I love it with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]!
I think [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is perfect with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] 
I think [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] could definitely get a little muddled together.
Mabel, [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], and [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] make a lovely sibset!
I wouldn’t worry about the dog name issue- I’ve only ever known a human [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], and I’ve known plenty of dogs with my own name. Hasn’t negatively affected me in the slightest. Might be a different story if the name you were into was something like Fido, but [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] doesn’t immediately bring up dogs for me
Ummm so my dog is named [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]! She’s four years old and we’ve only met one other dog named [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] in our travels - we’ve definitely met more people named [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]. A lot of the time people will comment about her having a person name. I don’t think it’s crossed over into “dog name” territory. (And nowadays there is quite a bit more overlap between pet names and person names - off the top of my head I think of plenty of humans and dogs named [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]…)
I love [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]’s name and to me [name_f]Opal[/name_f] does sound too similar to [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], so I’d still vote for [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] for you!
I’ve never heard of [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] being a dog’s name. It’s just a sweet vintage name to me. I love [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]! I think it sounds great with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. I find [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] too similar to each other.

Firstly both names are lovely!
My favourite for your sibling set is definitely [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]. [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is such a happy name really upbeat and sweet. [name_f]My[/name_f] friend’s daughter is [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and it’s a name that I hear regularly being used on girls as a result I don’t associate [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] with dogs. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is very elegant but I do agree she’s too similar in sound. [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] just works.
Other ideas…

Mabel and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] are lovely!
Bonnie is so cheerful and bright.
Opal is warm and beautiful!
You can’t go wrong with either but I slightly prefer [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
I love both but for be [name_f]Opal[/name_f] sounds so cute with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]!
I like [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] too but I think my hesitation with [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is that it feels nicknamey, where [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] sound like full names
I think [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] goes better with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]!
I think I’ve heard [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] used on dogs, but that doesn’t make it a dog name. It would be nice on a little girl too. I, however, prefer [name_f]Opal[/name_f] on its own and with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] & [name_m]Arthur[/name_m].
I think [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is great with your set! I’ve never met a dog named [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and I would think of it definitely as more of a person name than a pet name!
I’ve never met a dog named [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and I think it’s a great name! [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] & [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is lovely. I adore [name_f]Opal[/name_f] but to me it’s too similar to [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. But maybe use it as a middle?
Hère are a few more suggestions (any repeats are me agreeing):
Betty/Betsy
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Opal[/name_f] sounds lovely. A name that comes to mind that I just have to share is [name_f]Wilma[/name_f]. I think it would sound gorgeous with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and shares similarity with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] without sounding as similar as [name_f]Opal[/name_f] does to it.
