I love names like Lucas, Micah, Noah, Seth, Saul, Cassian, Balthazar...but I am struggling to find 'the one' for DC3. Girls names are sorted but I have 2 DS's (with biblical/Hebrew names) so am thinking it's more than likely this one will be my hat trick baby so I really need to find a name! Please help me with lots of suggestions!

Thanks Isla 77 but as we have no girls it has been a lot easier to choose names for that eventuality! Girls sorted....boys getting there! Wink

Caleb and Gideon are nice; I know a darling little Abraham called Abe. Ezra, Phineas...Josiah is popular here?

If you're not keen on Gabe, you could go with Adriel. It's got kind of the same sound as Gabriel?
