Can’t decide boys name!

Hi all

Need help to decide on name for baby boy due next month!

None of these names are my absolute favourites but rather names that we can compromise on!

Gabriel
Jesse
Myles

Middle name of either Andrew (preference) or Frederick

Also partners surname begins with S ..... so if we went with Gabriel then initials are potentially G.A.S.
Partner thinks this doesnt matter, but is off putting/concerning to me. Am I being ridiculous?

Also worried Gabriel is maybe a bit ‘wet’?

Any other suggestions?
My absolute favourite is Asa but partner dead against it
Other names I like but veto’d include Rudy, Sonny, Flynn, Rowan & Gene!

Thanks in advance, we need all the help we can get!

Firstly what names has your DP suggested (which you don’t like)?

I personally love Gabriel and love the nickname Gabe. I don’t think it’s wet whatsoever

Jesse and Myles/Miles are two of my favourites too. I think you have excellent taste

Asa sounds too much like Ass! Sorry but I don’t like it and agree with your DP

Rowan is practically identically to Roman which had come from nowhere to now be top 50 and on current trajectory will be top 20/10 soon. I wouldn’t like the fact it was continually confused. Plus I don’t like the inevitable nickname Row (Row Row your boat)

Rudy is cool and still pretty unusual. Can also be spelt Rudi

Sonny - love it!

Other suggestions

Eli
Ellis
Milo
Rupert
Rex

I think Gabriel is lovely and it doesn't matter about the initials (it might be shortened to Gabe anyway). you could also think about:

Alban
Kieran
Tate
Jackson
Maxwell
Barnaby (nn Barny)
