    I like Sybil the best out of your current choices.
    This is exactly how I feel. Sybil is the best of the three and reminds me of Lady Sybil on Downton Abbey. Mabel and Fern are not in the same league as Adelle and Greta (which are beautiful).

    Other names I like that I think are in the same genre:

    Elisa
    Marta
    Maria
    Josephine
    Emmaline
    Claire
    Patrice
    Madeline
    Marguerite

    I like Fern but it definitely reminds me of Charlottes Web (not a bad thing in my opinion). And I like Mabel but immediately thought of Mad About You (but again not bad to me).

    I dislike Sybil because of the bad connection to the book/movie.

    thanks for all of the opinions! keep 'em coming! i agree that Fern is not as beautiful at Adelle or Greta...still looking for that Perfect Name. I've always like Nina too...

    A few more (I'm not sure what's come over me - clearly I like your DDs' names!):

    Elisabeth or Elizabeth
    Eliza
    Liza
    Elena
    Alaina
    Stella
    Marcella

    I think that Fern and Mabel are lacking the musical, graceful, elegant quality that your older DDs' names have.

    Sybil is definitely my favorite of those three, and Mabel is definitely my least favorite. I like some of Green-Tea's suggestions too, especially Stella.

    For some reason when I say the first two, I think the third should be two syllables and end with -ene.

    Christine
    Selene
    Marlene
    Charlene
    Arlene
    Darlene
    Jolene
    Francine

    I like Christine the best, but it's pretty staid compared with your other two.

    One of my favorite shows, but never really liked that name.

    I like Fern. I immediately thought of the aunt in Steel Magnolias that made the armadillo groom's cake.

    OP, I love your later suggestion of Nina. I think that sounds lovely with your other two girls' names.

    I like Fern a lot. It reminds me of Wren, which is a name i considered for DD. I love all the nature names though...Hazel, River, flower names, etc.
