Gabriel or Jasper?

to go with Goddard?

I prefer the name Jasper, but Gabriel Goddard flows better. Hmmm. Or is it too girly for a boy?

I like both.........that doesn't help you much though does it

Have teenage boy- avoid both- honestly. Jasper is for wasps and Gabriel is lovely but they will be called GAY BOY by their enemies.

What does wasps mean , sorry I'm not from the UK?

ClipArt · 16/05/2011 21:32

Both nice names, but I think Jasper goes better with your surname.

smartyparts · 16/05/2011 21:35

I love them both, and were both on the list for ds1!

Gabriel

Gabriel is soooo lovely. Gabe Goddard is practically a superhero name - love it!!!!

meditrina · 16/05/2011 23:07

I much prefer Jasper.

mopsy: WASP = White, Anglo Saxon, Protestant (which I don't think it particularly is - though it can be a bit "Oh Sir!")

where we come from jasper is another name for a wasp that stings you and flies about.
Thought about Noah?

dottyaboutstripes · 17/05/2011 10:17

Love them both. Have used them both :o

Gabriel is my absolute fave boy's name ever - but both sound really good

DialsMavis · 17/05/2011 10:21

neither, because i wasn't allowed to use either of them and I love them both . But I think Gabriel just pips Jasper to the post, if only because of the Twighlight connection with Jasper.
