our third child is due next week and we are still undecided.
Dh is of Nigerian origin so we have a Nigerian surname. His late father was named Gabriel and its growing on me.
We have 2 girls and this is our 1st boy.
is it too feminine?
who likes it ?

other favs are Benjamin and Arron.

Is lovely I met a little curly haired toddler Gabriel the other day he was gorgeous. It's good for every stage of life as well.

DS was nearly Gabriel. We decided to wait, DD1 is Gabriela. But that was our preference, not because we thought Gabriel was too feminine. DS is Valentino.

I love it. Don't think it's girly, I've known several toddlers called Gabriel.
