Twin boys called...

Castiel and Gabriel? Cass and Gabe. This might be our compromise after DH conceded only 60% affection for Malchai but warming feelings towards Gabriel.

Thoughts?

Jacob and Gabriel
Noah and Gabriel
Monty and Gabriel

If you like Quinn, then I think Cass and Quinn sound great together.

I'm not keen on Gab, Gabe or Gabriel.

I feel like Gabe and Cass are quite a sensible move from Theseus and Balthazar!!

@Sowingbees he'd name his one Castiel and trying not to end up with a name either of us hates.
Gabriel would get the boot before Castiel, it's one of the few names DH loves, that and Quinn but I'm not too sure on the latter

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav Sam was only in the context of Castiel not being AFTER the SN guy, there's other characters I prefer
There's also too many Sam's around in my circle already

Great choices :-)
My username hints why I definitely love them !

MamaDane · 05/10/2019 18:25

Personally love Gabriel but my partner was against the name for our twin boys 😭
Not keen on Castiel but then again we chose Emmanuel (also a polarizing name) as the middle name for one of our sons. If you guys love it then just go for it. It's not our there like Apple or Pilot

My youngest is called Castiel. If I had twins Gabe and Cas would have been amazing names.
Ps. Everyone remarks what a beautiful name he has.

milliefiori · 05/10/2019 16:35

How about Gabriel and Raphael if you want angels. They go so well together. I think Castiel is too close to Gabriel in spelling.

Windydaysuponus · 05/10/2019 16:32

Gabriel and Solomon.
Gabe & Sol.

finallychangedmyusername · 05/10/2019 16:29

I really love Castiel.

Lavenderblues · 05/10/2019 14:22

I'm not keen on either Gabriel or Castiel

But I love the suggestions of Cassius and Quentin, nicknames Cass and Quinn!

Ellmau · 05/10/2019 09:52

Gabriel is great. Castiel definitely will make people think of SN.

Julius?
Jasper?
Casimir?
Jesse?
Constantine?
Alexander?

NoSauce · 05/10/2019 08:42

Cassius and Gabriel are so good together. Absolutely gorgeous names.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 05/10/2019 08:39

You said earlier about Sam, why not Gabriel and Samuel?
Gabriel and solomon
Gabriel and samson

Whydoesitalwaysrainatpickup · 05/10/2019 08:19

What about Gabriel And Abraham Gabe and Abe?
Or Gabriel and Immanuel?
Jacob
Soliman
Joseph
Ivor/Ivan

Do like Gabe but not Cass sorry

Saltnpepperr · 05/10/2019 07:28

I like Castiel! And Cassius, Caspian, Caspar..
Not so mad on Gabriel but as someone else said, it seems popular on mumsnet.
I really really don’t like Malachi.

Astronica · 05/10/2019 06:36

I don't like Gabriel but do like Castiel. I would love Raphael and Casper for something similar.

Rachelover60 · 04/10/2019 23:34

I don't like both children having 'iel' at the end of their names. Gabriel is a lovely name but I'd think of a different type of name altogether for the other child. However, it's up to you.

Sowingbees · 04/10/2019 23:31

Op, let your dh name twin one Gabriel and then say I pushed him out my fanny /had my stomach sliced so I'm naming twin 2 Ezekiel

TheVanguardSix · 04/10/2019 23:30

Gabriel and Raphael would be my choice.
Gabriel and Jude.

Castiel has me thinking of soap.
And Malachai is just too heavy.

StarBubbles · 04/10/2019 23:25

I love the name Castiel.
Never been a big fan of Gabriel, but according to this thread it seems pretty well liked.

Twillow i'd have Ezekiel in a heartbeat but DH has been against it for 4.5 years (guess how old eldest is 😂😂)

RolytheRhino Zacchaeus is adorable but we're already not having Zachariah as my nephew is Izaak and it's a bit too close

RainWoman19 · 04/10/2019 19:24

Ooh I love Castiel..not Gabriel although they go really well together x

RolytheRhino · 04/10/2019 19:17

Malachi makes me think of the character from Hex.

RolytheRhino · 04/10/2019 19:15

Persius? Amenadiel? Zacchaeus?
