Gabriel!

Like them both... sorry not helpful. Think I would go for Gabriel.

Gabriel. .

Reuben

LOVE Gabriel Grin

I desperately wanted ds to be a Gabriel but Dh vetoed it.

I like his name now (Alexander) but I still pine for a little Gabe. Let me live vicariously through you Grin

Gabriel is such a lovely name. I keep seeing people say there DH's don't like it and my DH doesn't like it much either!

It's a gorgeous name and it is a very pan European name so travels very well.

Gabriel. DD was being Gabriel had she been male.

Reuben. It's a lovely name. Really not keen on Gabriel, though I know that puts me in the minority.

I love Gabriel. Husband vetoed it-for all six of our sons-because he insists he would be called Gayboy at school.

AWhistlingWoman · 29/04/2017 19:19

I love them both. Not helpful I know!

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 29/04/2017 19:20

I prefer Reuben but I think it's awfully popular now...

17caterpillars1mouse · 29/04/2017 19:22

Gabriel

Reuben for me. I find Gabriel quite a feminine name, although that's probably because I've always wanted a Gabrielle.

CatRash · 29/04/2017 19:47

Reuben - not a fan of Gabriel at all !

Rockaby · 29/04/2017 19:52

Like them both, but my favourite is definitely Gabriel.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 29/04/2017 19:52

Gabriel

bluechameleon · 29/04/2017 20:24

I like both but prefer Reuben.

lizzieoak · 29/04/2017 20:25

I like both, but prefer Reuben by quite a bit.

Littlefoxy · 29/04/2017 20:26

Reuben is my top choice if we ever have a boy. Hoping it doesn't get too popular (so choose Gabriel Grin) I've always wanted a Roo. I think it's such a cute nickname. Both are nice though

Reuben

Reuben

SuperBeagle · 29/04/2017 22:17

I love Reuben. This would've been DD2's name if she were a boy.

I don't like Gabriel at all. "Gabe" reminds me of an ape.
