Ok, so we're down to the final two and I'm swinging from one to the other. Which is it to be and why?!

Alexander, without a doubt. I don't like Gabriel or Gabe, and I think Alexander is so much more versatile, it will give him more options.

Alexander. Doesn't have to be shortened to Alex either (though I like it) - can be Xander or Xan (please not Sandy or Eck though!)

Gabriel! Lovely name that isn't overused.

Alexander is ok but Alex is a little dull - I know so many male and female Alexes.

They're both very nice names, but I prefer Alex to Gabe so I'd go for Alexander.
