Sibling for Gabriel

15 replies

DS is Gabriel and we're expecting DC2 next month Smile!! We're really struggling to decide names, particularly a boy's name we love as much as Gabriel.

Which is your favourite from our two shortlists (or any other name you think would go nicely with Gabriel)...
Boys:
Isaac
Alexander
Monty
Henry

Girls:
Celeste
Imogen
Isobel
Charlotte

Alexander or Celeste, but I'm going to chuck Conrad into the mix and see if you like it!

From your selection I like Monty and celeste. I like Ambrose (Brose) and Angus (gus) with Gabriel.

Isaac and Charlotte

Celeste (although lovely) feels a bit too themey with Gabriel to me (and might start to seem slightly ironic during the toddler years?).

So I'd go for Imogen and either Isaac or Alexander.

Gabriel, Celestial and Isaac

TheRollingCrone · 10/06/2016 14:33

Celeste even.

Alexander and Imogen

I love Gabriel, but can't use it. I have a Patrick, which goes well? How about Reuben?

manicinsomniac · 10/06/2016 18:38

Oooh, I really like all those.

Not sure I could pick a favourite, particularly the boys - love Alexander, Isaac and Monty. Charlotte is probably my favourite of the girls (would be Isabel but sounds too similar to Gabriel imo).

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 10/06/2016 18:41

Gabriel and Issac
Gabriel and Imogen

From your lists I like Alexander and Isobel.

The Gabriels I know have siblings Tom, Nathaniel, Amelia, Elizabeth.

I like the boys names in the order you've written them:
Isaac
Alexander
Monty
Henry
I also don't think monty or Henry go well with Gabriel.

Re the girls names, I like:
Isobel
Charlotte
Celeste
Imogen
In that order.
I don't think the similarity in meanings of Gabriel and Celeste is a problem - I think they go well together (as do the others).

I'm expecting next month too. I wonder if you're one of our July group using a name-change Wink
