our third child is due next week and we are still undecided.
Dh is of Nigerian origin so we have a Nigerian surname. His late father was named Gabriel and its growing on me.
We have 2 girls and this is our 1st boy.
is it too feminine?
who likes it ?

other favs are Benjamin and Arron.

I absolutely love it and it is top of my list for DC2. There's just a little part of my head that wonders if he would get bullied and be called 'gay' at school (nothing wrong with being gay... not even going down that road)? I live in a very northern 'manly man' type area and children can be mean. Opinions anyone...?

I would worry about 'Gay' as a nn.

Awww I know a little Gabe, he's adorable x

You don't have to be called Gabriel to get called gay by the kids at school. Gabe is a lovely shortened version.
