Gabriel!

ducknipples · 03/09/2010 21:18

Love Gabriel!

thisisyesterday · 03/09/2010 21:19

my favourites are Gabriel and Rafferty

shoobidoo · 03/09/2010 21:27

Rafferty is the only one I really like.

Quenbioz · 03/09/2010 21:34

Miles - like this best :)
Jasper - OK
Gabriel (Gabe) - OK
Raffery - don't like, too frilly
Finnigan (Finnn) - Not keen on Finn names or surnames as first names, sorry. Could be Michael Finnigan jokes as well.

Ooh your shortlist is really similar to mine! I liked Jasper the best but OH din't like any of them so we've gone with something mutual. Other names I had on my list were

Fergus
Otis
Hugo
Titus

BeccaandEvie · 14/09/2010 14:42

Jasper was our pick for Evie had she been a boy so I love that one. Miles and Gabriel were also on our list.

IWillNotNeverEatATomato · 14/09/2010 14:47

I like Miles best from you list
have you also thought of Giles as an alternative.

I toyed with Jasper but actually was glad I didn't choose it as I don't think it would have suited DS2, but this doesn't mean I don't like it.

Gabriel is ok

Rafferty is not to my taste (a bit try hard maybe)

Finnigan, I just know far to many Finn's, (although these are mainly Findlays) and yes I would constantly think of the song Michael Finnegan

rachel234 · 14/09/2010 14:51

Miles is the plural of Mile (to my eyes/ears). Giles is much nicer and not the plural of Gile Grin.

Rafferty, Gabriel and Jasper are all lovely.

Finn, on the other hand, is so, so popular round here that I'd avoid it for that reason.

EleFunTess · 14/09/2010 14:52

Love Gabriel

allieballiebee · 15/09/2010 09:36

LOVE Gabriel, unfortunately I can never use it, as an old school girl crush has spoilt it!

Bumbler · 15/09/2010 09:40

I love Finn and know more Gabriels than Finns. Jasper would be my second coice - although there's the wasp issue.

Bumbler · 15/09/2010 09:41

Meant to say that I've never heard of Finnegan as a full name. I'd maybe go for Fintan.

treecloud · 15/09/2010 09:45

Jasper is a fanatstic name. Please let us know what you decide.

Kathleen123 · 16/09/2010 11:10

Finn

Bradyboo · 16/09/2010 12:04

I still so stuck. Still love Jasper and Miles and even Oscar but is so popular. Am going over them so much in my head that I am starting to go off them.

They are all lovely, Gabriel, Jasper and Rafferty are all on my list. DP has vetoed them all Sad. I think I love Gabriel and Rafferty the most

polyhymnia · 16/09/2010 14:51

I guess you know Miles means 'soldier' in Latin, not a plural. Gabriel is my favourite - as in the angel!

LetThereBeRock · 16/09/2010 15:04

I like Miles,Jasper and Gabriel. I don't like the other two.

chaya5738 · 16/09/2010 15:06

I love Gabriel. Tis on our list

Rach109 · 16/09/2010 20:07

Gabriel

musicmadness · 17/09/2010 17:13

Miles - ok
Jasper - don't like
Gabriel - absolutely love
Raffery - don't like
Finnigan - ok

liliputlady · 17/09/2010 20:07

Miles my favourite out of your list; it's classy and cool.
