I love this name - DH vetoed it for DS.....lots of raised eyebrows when I mentioned it at the time too! Anyway, heard someone calling a little Gabriel today and I have name .

would def like to use this if we ever have another ds.....and if i could convince DH!

Love it. Gets shortened to Gabe. No raised eyebrows in this house and not from anyone I know who has come across a friends DS of that very name. They cleverly put it with Vincent which I think makes him sound like a movie star.

I love it - I would have used it for DS2, but my boss is called Gabriel (shortened to Gabe) which would have been too weird for words!

I do know what you mean though Coco...kids can be cruel.

I love it, but wondered if it might be shortened to "Gay", and them be teased about it at school.
