Gabriel, Sebastian or Alfred?

[moogster1a]

opinions, please!

Gabriel is lovely.

I'm not keen on the nicknames for Sebastian - Seb,Sebby, Basty..?!

Alfred is ok but I really don't like Alfie, sorry.

Gabriel definitely.

Sebastian is ok. Don't like Alfred.

Gabriel.

Gorgeous name.

Another very enthusastic vote for Gabriel.

I like all of those! Probably Alfred, then Gabriel, then Sebastian.

Gabriel (biased as it's DS1's name)! Be prepared for him to be called Gabrielle though [hmmm]

DS2 also named after an archangel!

Gabriel is lovely. Also love Alfred. Really don't like sebastian.

Sebastian would be my pick...it's lovely and I
I like that it can be shortened to Seb or Bastian!

Another vote for Gabriel! Lovely classic not overused name!

I don't like Alfred/Alfie at all, I'm afraid and Sebastian has no nice nicknames - Bastian is too much like Bastard imo and Seb sounds like sebacious, oily.

Gabriel is beautiful, Sebastian is nice, possibly a bit dull. Alfred would become Alfie which is awful and really faddy and common

Gabriel! That was on my list but DH vetoed. Love it.

I have to agree that Gabriel is the nicest.

Really don't like Alfred, sorry and Sebastian is rather long (3 syllables) that it may well end up shortened... and neither Seb or Basty is very nice imo.

Sebastian. My son's name, so I am biased. We also thought about Gabriel but decided against it (Archangel and the issue that it may be spelled Gabrielle by some people). Really don't like Alfie. If you have a short last name, Sebastian is nice. With a longer last name, Gabriel might be nicer. Both are lovely names.

Sebastian is a lovely name and I quite the short versions for a teen. Gabrielle....knew a boy called this who always got teased and called gaylord.

Another vote for Gabriel, love it. I'd worry that Alfred would be shortened to Alfie and know a few Sebastians and think it's a bit of a mouthful but ok.

They are all nice, but there are loads of Archie's about. Only one Gabriel and no Sebastian's.

Really like Sebastian.

Not so keen on the other two.

Gabriel nn gabe or Alfred nn Fred (I think that's quite cute. Baby Fred)

Sebastian is the best- Sebby is so cute for a little boy and Seb is pretty cool as he gets older. Gabriel is nice as well though, really don't like Alfred although Alfie is cute but very popular!

Please use Gabriel! I love it but OH has vetoed it. Sebastian is also nice but please don't use Alfred, I really dislike it, sorry!

Sebastian and Gabriel are really lovely names, would have had both on our list if we had a boy. Not keen at all on Alfred sorry.

I like Gabriel the best. Sebastian is ok but I also find Seb or Sebby very soft and feminine (and oily - sebacious) sounding. Alfred is quite nice but Archie is overdone imo (and will date).
