Coming to the end of my 1st pregnant, me and my fella opted not to find out the sex. For the last 5months we've been calling our lil flubba "Connie". For a baby girl we've decided on the name Esmee Summer. For a baby boy we decided on the name "Connor Alexander", but now we're thinking about "Connor Gabriel" (Gabriel After my father), i'm not feeling it at the moment. Is it because I was so used to Connor Alexander?. What do you think of the name Connor Gabriel?

I love Gabriel :)
I'm not overly keen on Connor.
I like Alexander Gabriel together

Thanks for that. My fellas brother (the baby's only uncle so far) is called Alexander, so we dont really wanna call the bub that. Connor was the name we picked from the moment we found out.

If they've both got family connections then I would use both as middle names and Connor as first name lots of people have 2 middle names

Yeah, that could work. Connor Alexander Gabriel, but then my chappys dad may feel left out, and I dont think "Connor Alexander Michael Gabriel" will suit.
