Sebastian
Isaac
Jacob
Jasper

Gabriel is a great name! It was on our list. If you and the dad love it, that's all that matters.

FallenAngel89 · 21/03/2018 10:03

I just can't see any name matching up to how much I like Gabriel 😄 I did like Sebastian nn Seb but it's turning out to be quite popular!

Go for Gabriel if that's what you want, it's your baby and you can't please everyone! Other options...

Arlo
Theo
Mason
Teddy
Luca
Frankie

FallenAngel89 · 21/03/2018 10:06

Arlo was on my list also 😊
These are the names we came up with:
Gabriel
Magnus
Rory
Sebastian
Matteus
Jesse

Sebastian would be good as it has links to soldiers as does Milo.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 21/03/2018 10:15

Gabriel is lovely with Milo as they are both gentle sounding. I like Matteo and Magnus too.

Cassius would go well imo?

rosetintedview · 21/03/2018 10:18

Gabriel/Gabe is lovely!

Nathaniel/Nate?
Tate?
Blake?

FallenAngel89 · 21/03/2018 10:22

My MIL has a dog called Cassius so that's out haha! Although he is lovely Grin Hubby's fav is Magnus but it sounds harsh to say it out loud. I love the meaning behind names too.

Barnaby?

chezmk1988 · 21/03/2018 10:27

I love Gabriel. My reservations for myself was will he be called gay and picked on for it.

FallenAngel89 · 21/03/2018 10:41

Exactly, like in some areas it would be used and everyone would love it and then I think in others people are like eeew and I don't want him bullied either. But then again I don't want to just give him a common name just because other people think that's whats "normal". I think we're going to go with Gabriel and sod the haters 🙄 Thankyou for your reassurance's it's much appreciated!

Arlo and Rory go well together.

Rory is also really nice, would of been my sons name if DH liked it.
