Personal experiences with the name Maebel: | Edit

Not a pretty name and does attract comedic attention. Please don't give your daughter this name.

I think it is VERY pretty and think it would be a great name to give a daughter and encourage it, it's pretty and unique. Besides, anyone immature enough to laugh at someone's name is a child and children will do that no matter what the name is.
