Already overdue and still not decided on a name… what do people think of Gabriel, Jude or Gray? And how popular are they in your area?

No Gray. I always think it's short for Graham and I don't think that's a nice name.

Gray makes me think of "50 shades of", or the (now very dated) penchant for decorating houses in grey - which makes me think it will be naff by the time he's 2.

Jude and Gabriel are both nice. In the same vibe, what about Tate?

Like Gabriel and Jude. Not keen on Gray at all though could be a nickname for Grayson, Graham.

I love Jude, like Gabriel and Gray is not for me. Jude of Gabriel are both lovely names.

My Gabriel is 21. Still love it. Never had any negative comments yet.

I like Jude and Gabriel. Neither are popular around where I live. Not a fan of Gray

angelaEhen · 03/12/2021 16:09

Jude is lovely, I don't like the other two

Changethetoner · 03/12/2021 16:09

How about Grayson? (i'm not keen on just Gray).

Gabriel.

Holly60 · 03/12/2021 16:07

Jude then Gabriel

Gray is a surname. People will think it's a typo for Gary. See which of the other two suits him when he arrives.

Jude is my favourite, then Gabriel but not keen on Gray (sorry!)

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 03/12/2021 16:05

I know 1 Grey and 1 Jude so not hugely popular but I like them all.
My favourite is Gabriel.

Twizbe · 03/12/2021 16:02

Not Grey, but other 2 are really nice.

At this point I'd just wait until baby is here and see which suits them best.

Gabriel or Jude

MissBPotter · 03/12/2021 16:02

Gabriel is my fave. Really don’t like Gray. Jude also nice but more popular than Gabriel I think.
