My youngest is Gabriel. I love it and I quite like the fact that it can't be shortened. Although, my 6 year old once tried out "Gaybo" needless to say, it didn't stick Grin

Gabe is a shortened form of Gabriel.

Youngest was nearly Irah. Can't remember why we didn't go for it.

GrumpyDullard · 28/08/2016 20:44

Jerome. Why has no one suggested it yet? It's clearly the best boy's name. Also Reuben.

LiquoriceAllsorts86 · 28/08/2016 20:45

My husband doesn't like Gabe so we always just use his full name. When we picked it, it was unpopular but I've met a few more Gabriels recently.

Sorry, slightly off-topic but just wanted to reassure you Milk: Ezra is not the most popular name of the year - at, least, the official nation-wide stats aren't realeased until 2nd September so there's no way we'd know yet (it's highly unlikely though). The stats that are floating around at the moment are just about the names that have got most attention/use among members on certain sites, or have seen the biggest increase in interest from previous years. I think Ezra will have climbed - possibly even into the top 100 - but I doubt it will be anywhere near the top 10 for 2015.

Anyway, an amazing boy's name: Maximilian. Literally means "the greatest". I love it and would totally use it, but unfortunately I married one Sad

Jaimelannister - albus Severus? Or James Sirius? Personally I'd go for Sirius James Albus Severus, but my dh wouldn't allow Wink

Max is a very good name but I might be biased!

My favourite name of all time is Abel but my dh wouldn't allow that either!!
