Adalaide and Gabriel

[Winchester13]

What do you think of these please? :)

Adelaide not Adalaide. Not keen.
Gabriel - popular but will get shortened to Gay or Gabe. Not keen.

I love them both, but would spell Adelaide. Considered Gabriel for dc3, and still sometimes wish we had gone for it. It felt just a little ‘frilly’ for me to use, and also felt a little strange using a name with such a strong connection to the Bible when I have no religious background or ties.

I know of one child Gabriel but never met an Adelaide

It’s Adelaide. Don’t mind it. Not sure about Gabriel.

Adelaide for sure. Gabriel is nice too but I wouldn't much like Gabe as a shortening and think it would be inevitable.

I think I would go for two angel names. So Gabriel and:

Michaela
Micah
Dina
Ariel

Or change the Gabriel to Gabriella and have:

Michael
Nathaniel (Angel of fire- that is cool)
Raphael

Not keen on Adelaide as that's a place. Prefer Adeline. LOVE Gabriel. It's on our list.

Adelaide, not Adalaide. but I'm not keen. I just think of the Australian city. I really like Gabriel.

Definitely not the mis-spelt version with an 'a' but it is OK, does Adelaide have a special connection for you (like the baby being conceived there or you meeting there etc?), always seems odd to me when people call their kids place names (India, Paris, Atlanta etc) when there is no connection or they haven't even been there?!

I prefer Adeline too & Gabe is lovely.

'misspelt'. Ah the irony!

Adelaide the place was named after a person! It’s a pretty old name

Adelaide's a lovely name, and it's definitely a girl's name which happens to have a place named after it, not the other way round. I'm not a fan of Gabriel, though.

The name can be spelt both ways. Oo I love Raphael too

My cousin lives in Adelaide. But I liked the name Calamity Jane haha

The name from calamity jane that was supposed to say!

Pretty sure the Calamity Jane character is 'Adelaid Adams'

Yes you’re right haha

I like both, but prefer Adelaide spelled this way.

My 17 yr old daughter has a friend called Adelaide, she ALWAYS goes by Addie and hates the long version if her name.

Gabriel - Gabe is a great name. Historic and masculine.

I love Addie as a nickname

Adelaide (Addie), is lovely.
Sorry, I don't like Gabriel.

Love Gabriel and Raphael (and also Rapahaela). Don’t like Adelaide.

Raphaela ^

I have a Gabriel and a Raphael - we always get loads of compliments about their names!

Great names Hawaiian, congrats!
