Gabriel because I prefer Gabe to Jake.

LOVE phoebe!

Only4theOlympics · 11/08/2012 00:01

Jacob for me.

Liveinthepresent · 11/08/2012 00:03

Jacob

mathanxiety · 11/08/2012 06:48

Gabriel. There just seem to be loads of Jakes around.

mamij · 11/08/2012 06:50

Jacob too.

getawiggleon · 11/08/2012 11:05

Love both of them but I think Jacob/Jake works best with Phoebe (I have a Phoebe, she's 8 weeks old today!) Good luck with number 2!

FizzyFishAddict · 11/08/2012 11:07

Oh I love them both! I think Jacob works best with Phoebe, but then as another poster has said, Gabe is a lovely nname

poppy283 · 11/08/2012 11:24

I prefer Gabriel, congrats!

DawnOfTheDee · 11/08/2012 11:24

Gabriel Smile Love this name....was on my short list if we'd had a ds

Ham69 · 11/08/2012 11:27

Another vote for Gabriel nn Gabe. Lots of Jacobs about.

PinkChampagneandStrawberries · 11/08/2012 11:28

Jacob

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/08/2012 11:28

Jacob - was on our short list too Smile

hermionestranger · 11/08/2012 11:29

My ds2 is Gabriel. So guess which I choose? Grin

LackingNameChangeInspiration · 11/08/2012 11:32

Gabriel, its normal but still a bit different from the masses, there are so many Jacobs and Jonahs and other similar Js about at the moment!

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 11/08/2012 11:34

Gabriel a million percent more. There's jakes everywhere!

Viviennemary · 11/08/2012 12:06

Definitely Jacob.

KatieTaylor · 11/08/2012 12:08

Gabe over Jake
but Jacob over Gabriel.

sorry.

CharlieBoo · 11/08/2012 12:58

Gabriel, Jacobs everywhere!!

shhhgobacktosleep · 11/08/2012 13:06

Gabriel - gorgeous name. I know 3 of varying ages (baby - adult) and theyre all lovely. There are sooo many Jacobs and various derivatives of the name around.

SheilaWheeler · 11/08/2012 13:17

Where I am there are loads of Gabriels and very few Jacobs, but that's no use to you, sorry!

I much prefer Jacob though

ALittleBitOfMagic · 11/08/2012 14:35

It's funny I think there is such a huge difference in name popularity according to geography . I don't know any Jacobs or Gabriels .

I do know of one Jake though but that doesn't count !! Grin

Both nice and go well with Phoebe. But Jacob definitely has the edge.

headisintheshed · 11/08/2012 15:56

Gabriel because if we had a boy he would have been Gabriel.

AndWhenYouGetThere · 11/08/2012 16:33

I like them both very much, but Jacob is so much more popular... Gabriel edges into the lead for me.

BalloonSlayer · 11/08/2012 16:39

Loads of Jacobs where I live. It's starting to be the name where you definitely are going to get called by your surname as well, as there's likely to be 2 or 3 in a class.

Also don't like what it means.

I only know one Gabriel. Lovely name.
