TV actor Chad Lowe and wife Kim Painter have welcomed a daughter:

Mabel Painter Lowe.

WDYT?
I've been thinking Mabel fits trends for a while, so I was waiting for SOMEONE to use it. Painter's pretty cool as a MN too.

Mabelowe?

I think Mabel's fine. It's refreshing to see, even though it's not a huge favorite of mine. But Mabel with the ln Lowe? Not so much.

Really unattractive name. I don't like any part of it.

I kinda like Mabel. I'd never use it myself, but I like it on other people. Tracey Ullman has a daughter named Mabel as well.

Mabel's cute, but I find Painter ridiculous. Thanks god it's the mn.

I kind of like Mabel. It's weird to explain, when I hear it I think what a sweet name it is yet at the same time I see it as on the bland side. I think I would really adore a Mabel nicknamed "Mae".

I hate Mabel, it's so frumpy and reminds me of marbles. Painter is even more horrible and the fact that it's her mum's name doesn't make it any better for me. Blergh.

I think its pretty cool. I don't like Mabel overly much (but then I adore Mae-Belle as a nickname for Mae Isabelle or something...go figure :-p) but it is nice to see it used. Painter is a great mn

Mabel Mabel, set the table

Do kids still chant that?
I think Mabel is awful, and paired with Painter, it sounds doubly awful.

"What do you paint?"

"Oh, I'ma mabel painter, see?"

I always loved Painter for a girl

Err...Painter is part of her surname

I think it's her middle name

Like, she's just be called Mabel Lowe. I know a lot of people who give their firstborn their maiden name as a MN. At my school, we have a Clara Parker and an Elle Doll for that reason.

It's the mother's maiden name, I heard.

I like Mabel; it was also my late grandmother's name.

Mabel is refreshing but I personally would have went with a more vintage middle name like Mabel Josephine or Mabel Kathleen or something to keep the "vintageness" of it if you will.

Painter is the Mother's maiden name. That's a 'vintage' tradition.

The middle name honors

It's the mom's maiden name. Which is part of what makes it cool, I think.
