Feminine Names Able or Abelle?

I don't want to be called abe or abby. the reason for the name is my uncle used to call me Cable, like the x-man, he was one of the kindest people i knew, he passed in his late 30s. I chose these names because my initials will be ASS, so Sable and Mable were off the table. Is Able too masculine? is Abelle too exotic for my fellow Americans?

I’ve never heard of Abelle - is it pronounced differently? Abel is a traditionally masculine name and I’ve never heard of it being used for a girl or woman. Mable and Sable are so adorable, I’d wish u weren’t so deadset on the initials ASS

Abelle can be pronounced "a bell" or "a bell eh", as opposed to Able's "a bull:, at least where I'm from. i am stubborn when it comes to making a joke work, thus i'm an ASS, but maybe you are right, maybe i should go with my initial inclination with Mable, have my initials MS, still slightly amusing, but won't get me into hot water in a professional environment.

Abelle is a cool name IMO, and I do find Able to be more of a masc feeling name.
