Am I missing anything with this name?

Gabriel William Fox

With DS1 we had a shortlist and picked after he’d arrived. This time round we theoretically have the same but Gabriel (probably known as Gabe) is so far ahead of the others that it seems a forgone conclusion that we’ll go for it. I think this is leading me to overthink. Have I missed any weird problems with initials or sounds like (DS1 was nearly Isaac Fox and it wasn’t until we revisited it with DS2 that I realised it actually sounds quite close to ‘I suck cocks’ 😬)?

Anything that shortens to Gay is a bit of a risk, surely? Probably not quite so much nowadays!

Gabriel Fox sounds gorgeous. However if I was over thinking things Id worry about Gay Cox.
or even Gay Willy Cox. However who’d know his middle name. I assume he’ll just be Gabriel day to day.
I think it’ll be fine. The surname isn’t actually Cox, is it.
