Definitely Gabriel. I don't like Jude at all.

SleepWhenImDead · 21/11/2010 18:51

Jude ;)

Notyetamummy · 21/11/2010 18:59

Jude gets my vote.

greentig3r · 21/11/2010 19:01

I like Jude (also Julius, Julian, Jules, etc.)

Gabriel

dottyaboutstripes · 21/11/2010 20:19

Gabriel is my absolute fave boy's name. I have one. His middle name is Jude :o

MogTheForgetfulCat · 21/11/2010 21:36

Gabriel - mainly because of Gabriel Oak in Far From the Madding Crowd (much better than Jude Fawley - also dislike Jude Law, so negative connotations). Would love to use it for DS3, but our surname begins with G, so it's a no-go.

thecaptaincrocfamily · 21/11/2010 21:47

Definately Jude we have 2 dds but if dd2 was a boy he would have been keiran jude.

Goingspare · 21/11/2010 21:53

Gabriel

Edmundo · 21/11/2010 21:53

Gabriel. Don't like Jude at all.

Thank you for your comments.Already have a Jacob & a Maisie & know the next one is a boy, very exciting but find boys names quite tricky! thanks for your help!

ohfuschia · 21/11/2010 22:21

Gabriel (also have one :))

Mog, there's a reporter on 5live called Gabriel Gatehouse, I think the 2 G's sound fine there, so wouldn't rule it out for the two 'g' reason (though obviously don't know your surname!).

MelinaM · 21/11/2010 22:21

Gabriel for me too! x

LexieB · 21/11/2010 22:23

Oooohhh there are lots of you that have Gabriels.Did your partners always like it, my husband thinks its a bit'gay' god knows why!!! but think he can be persuaded cos its my favourite name

OP posts:

thisisyesterday · 21/11/2010 22:27

no, my partner loved the name

ChutesTooNarrow · 21/11/2010 22:32

Gabriel, I have one. It turned up on both mine and my partners list - he was quite influenced by the Penny Arcade comic and an old computer game he played called Gabriel Knight. I really don't get the 'gay' argument at all.

I like both names really. I love Gabriel and so does my DH but I wonder what it is shortened to? I presume it's 'Gabe' which isn't quite as nice but inevitable when they start school etc. Do any of you who already have little Gabriels have other short versions of the name?

skippingturtle · 22/11/2010 11:19

Both fab, for me it's Gabriel by a whisker.
