I love Gabriel.

I had finally brought DH around to it when we were having DS when DH's best friend said he hated it, sounded like 'gay boy' apparently Hmm, and my DH was put off Angry Will never get over it...and will not be letting anyone know our names this time round so we don't get stupid opinions!

Love them both, Jude is ds middle name, Gabriel is on my list for a future ds Smile

Gabriel. Google the song "Gabriel" by Emmy the Great. i really, really love it but I can't use it. Friend has a son called Gabriel already and DP's surname begins with a G. Gah!!!

Definitely Gabriel. Was my choice if the baby I am expecting had been a boy. I have loved it for years. And it means "One who is praised". ;-)

Really not keen on Gabriel! Too many angel connotations (nothing against angels!) Love Jude though.

same same zozzle,..... really not keen on Gabriel because of the angel association. And Gabriella for a girl (sorry this is not entirely relevant) is revolting - particularly with the nn Gabby.

Jude, on the other hand, is my idea of name perfection! As they say, it takes all sorts.

Like the whole Thomas Hardy theme you have going here! I prefer Gabriel. As a once-Catholic, Jude always makes me think of Judas.

Love both - you have excellent taste Smile Gabriel slightly tops it for me.
