Reuben - but then I'm biased as I have a little Roo (though he's not very little anymore!)

Gabriel is lovely too though.

I love Reuben. This would've been DD2's name if she were a boy.

I don't like Gabriel at all. "Gabe" reminds me of an ape.

Reuben

Reuben

Reuben is my top choice if we ever have a boy. Hoping it doesn't get too popular (so choose Gabriel Grin) I've always wanted a Roo. I think it's such a cute nickname. Both are nice though

I like both, but prefer Reuben by quite a bit.

I like both but prefer Reuben.

Gabriel

Gabriel

Like them both, but my favourite is definitely Gabriel.

Reuben - not a fan of Gabriel at all !

crumble82 · 29/04/2017 19:25

Reuben for me. I find Gabriel quite a feminine name, although that's probably because I've always wanted a Gabrielle.

17caterpillars1mouse · 29/04/2017 19:22

Gabriel

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 29/04/2017 19:20

I prefer Reuben but I think it's awfully popular now...

AWhistlingWoman · 29/04/2017 19:19

I love them both. Not helpful I know!

thebakerwithboobs · 29/04/2017 19:18

I love Gabriel. Husband vetoed it-for all six of our sons-because he insists he would be called Gayboy at school.

WhatwouldRuthdo · 29/04/2017 19:17

Reuben. It's a lovely name. Really not keen on Gabriel, though I know that puts me in the minority.

HorraceTheOtter · 29/04/2017 19:15

Gabriel. DD was being Gabriel had she been male.

AmyOnTheBorder · 29/04/2017 19:14

Gabriel is such a lovely name. I keep seeing people say there DH's don't like it and my DH doesn't like it much either!

It's a gorgeous name and it is a very pan European name so travels very well.

GlamClam · 29/04/2017 19:11

LOVE Gabriel Grin

I desperately wanted ds to be a Gabriel but Dh vetoed it.

I like his name now (Alexander) but I still pine for a little Gabe. Let me live vicariously through you Grin

Pigwitch · 29/04/2017 19:09

Reuben

Justmadeperfectflapjacks · 29/04/2017 19:08

Gabriel. .

TroysMammy · 29/04/2017 19:08

Gabriel

Nonameyet1 · 29/04/2017 19:06

Like them both... sorry not helpful. Think I would go for Gabriel.

elephantscansing · 29/04/2017 18:51
