Does anyone else HATE these names?

Question

My best friend is pregnant with twins [boy and girl] and today she called me and told me the names she picked out...

Boy- Marvel

Girl- Mabel

I hate those names. I really do. I asked my husband what he thought and he said they weren't THAT bad. I think they're hideous!!! Anyone agree with me??

Answer 1

I really don't like them too much.

Answer 2

Oh boy, haha. I think they sound too cutesy together. And I just don't like the names.

Answer 3

lmao!!!

that's sooo funny, the Boy would sound like a Comic Book character (Marvel is a comic book company) and the girl would sound like maple syrup!

yes, I hate them.

Answer 4

I don't like them either.  I also don't like the names Allison or Mellissa for girls and Noah for a boy.

Answer 5

UGH

Answer 6

Poor babies!  They are just really old sounding names. I would expect these at the nursing home. Hopefully she gives them really nice middle names that they can go by.  

Answer 7

Totally agree with you! Ugh...

Are they family names? Or does her husband have a thing for superheroes or something?

Geez...

Good luck!

Answer 8

I think they are ugly names.

When they grow up they're going to want to change their names.

Answer 9

I don't like them either, but it isn't our place to say.  She still has time to change the names... maybe you can drop some hints as to some names that are better.

Answer 10

I'm not fond of those names either.

Answer 11

It sounds like a learning-to-read storybook.

"Marvel and Mabel went to the market to buy their mother some milk."

Answer 12

their hideous eeew  

Answer 13

Marvel reminds me of comic books.  Mabel was my husband's great grandmothers name.  Gotta say, not loving them.

Answer 14

Marvel and Mabel are pretty bad

But your friends can name her twins anything she want

Mabel Is not that bad, but Marvel is awful, and both together are awful

Answer 15

Is she naming humans or aliens?

Answer 16

Yeah, I'm not crazy about them. But its her choice, they're her kids.

Answer 17

Marvel is weird, like a magicians name.

Mabel is a grandma name.

I feel sorry for the kids. I hate when twins are born and are named names that sound alike or start the same, especially boy/girl twins, because then you are always associated as 'Marvel and Mabel' and never your own person!  

Answer 18

Yeah they're bad

Answer 19

Mabel isn't that bad, just old fashioned. Marvel? As in Marvel Comics? Yeah, I agree this one is awful.

I also don't like that they begin with the same letter and end in the same sound. Twin names shouldn't be all matchy-matchy. So tacky.

Answer 20

Hates a strong word lol i Like Mabel not too sure about Marvel
