Gabriel

[fireworkbaby]

Worried our other choice of Theodore is too popular/trendy. What are people's thoughts on Gabriel?

Lovely name

I would have used Gabriel if my OH had loved it as much as I do! As it happens though we are calling our little boy Theodore!

Terrible name. Very 'wet'. And, as progressive as society is be I gotta... just asking for trouble.

Theo better, but chavvy. IMO

*is getting

Seriously - if you can't even construct a coherent sentence why bother posting your bigoted crappy opinions @whatthewhatthewhat?

Beautiful name. Gabriel Jude I would have if I had another boy, unlikely as my DS is 21 this year.

I like Theo/shortened to Teddy

I've got a teenage Theodore and Gabriel was on my list as well as Ludovic which has a similar vibe. ☺️

It's lovely, quite popular in my area though, more so than Theodore.

Love love love

Very nice indeed. Go for it!
Theodore sounds a bit girly for a boy (daresay I've said something not PC there), boys are often nicknamed "Dora".

My son is a Gabriel (although his is spelt Gabrial), still love it 12 years on...I call him Gabe but he prefers Gabrial.

The only issue he has had was when he started secondary school and some boys unoriginally called him gay as it was part of his name.

Oh come on now, Bibbity.
Its hardly bigoted to say you don't like a name.

I was a victim of autocorrect. It's a horrible name.

Love both these names

My nephew is Gabriel. He's 17, is extremely cool and handsome and pulls off the name Gabe really well. However, he absolutely hates his name and wishes he was called anything "normal" like Ben/Sam/Tom.

Gabriel is beautiful.

Lovely and timeless

I love it, my daughter would have been Gabriel if she was a boy. I know a woman called Gabriel too.

I know a Gabriel pronounced Gab-ree-el which is nicer than Gay-bree-el.

Like Gabriella or Gabrielle.

My friend's beautiful Gabe is being seriously bullied at school because 'his name has gay in it'.

My eldest sons middle name. I love it. Go for it. It's cool, beautiful, classic, not common, and will grow with him as he grows into a man. Lots of positives. Very nice xx

Im surprised to hear that, Vonny. As there are plenty of Gabriels around.
Also I'm tripping over Williams. No one passes Willy comments over that. Well I've never know it.

Actually they do. Probably not in front of a teacher or parent though.

My Gabriel has always been the most popular boy. He is also gay, presumably not because he has gay in his name. Has never ever been bullied or had any negative comments.
And he isn't a chav either..
