I heard this name on the movie "The Bridge to Terabithia" and I thought it was so lovely and sweet. It's not pronounced like Mabel (rhyming with table) but more like two seperate names - May and Belle.
Possible spellings...
Mabelle
Maybell
Maybelle
Mabell
Maybella
What does everyone think?
i think if you spelt it maybelle people would at least get the pronounciation right!
it's pretty - not common (which is good)
I think its quite pretty...i'd probably go with Mabelle....for no real reason other than I like the way it looks!!
Far too hick country for me!
Hick?? Really?
I really like the spelling Maybelle and Maybella. Does it really sound like something from the Beverly Hillbillies? :lol:
oooh i like Maybella! We have a friend who called her little girl Mable and she is sooo adorable!
What about Maebelle as an alternative spelling??
Same here, it does remind me of the Beverley Hillbillies. A lot of compound names with May do- May Belle, Ellie May, Mayella, etc.:
If I were to use the name, I'd spell it Maybelle, like it was spelled in the book.
I thought the name on the hillibillies was Ellimay? It doesnt sound anything like Maybelle? Or am I wrong???
Amy hun if you like then go for it :) xx
That's what I think too boomba - which is why I was surprised by the comment!
