Persephone,
Evangeline, and
Ophelia are all lovely names, but seem a bit too fanciful for a real baby/person.
Mabel, on the other hand, is sweet but strong, and definitely ready for a comeback. I don't really like
Victoria or
Florence with
Mabel, but
Mabel Ivy,
Mabel Violet, and
Mabel Jean are all lovely-
Violet, especially. Some others:
Mabel RoseMabel PearlMabel AnneMabel Hope (I love this one!)
Mabel JustineMabel LouiseMabel EstelleMabel FionaMabel IrisMabel Susanna /
Mabel SusannahMabel Augusta
Mabel is not popular at all where I live, for babies or adults.
As for
Lolita, I think that
Lola is nice, and both
Lola and
Lolita are nice enough as nns for
Delores (which I don't like, mainly because of the meaning). In
America, at least, however,
Lolita would provoke a LOT of teasing.
