to go with Goddard?

I prefer the name Jasper, but Gabriel Goddard flows better. Hmmm. Or is it too girly for a boy?

Have teenage boy- avoid both- honestly. Jasper is for wasps and Gabriel is lovely but they will be called GAY BOY by their enemies.

Both nice names, but I think Jasper goes better with your surname.

I much prefer Jasper.

mopsy: WASP = White, Anglo Saxon, Protestant (which I don't think it particularly is - though it can be a bit "Oh Sir!")

Thought about Noah?

Love them both. Have used them both :o

Gabriel is my absolute fave boy's name ever - but both sound really good

neither, because i wasn't allowed to use either of them and I love them both Envy. But I think Gabriel just pips Jasper to the post, if only because of the Twighlight connection with Jasper.
