Gabriel or Samuel

[fireworkbaby]

Think it is between these two for if baby is a boy but can't decide. Big brother is James. I think I maybe prefer Sam to Gabe but not sure if it would get shortened anyway.

He was born a long baby and has always been tall, it seems a strong masculine name to me.

It’s really interesting to hear you say this Idabwells we are planning on naming DS Gabriel and at our 36weeks growth scan, he was measuring at the top of the scale in femur and humorous length. 😂

I have a Gabriel family call him Gaby.

Gabriel is a strong name because that is literally what it means! It is Hebrew for "god is my strength".

I have a Samuel and despite what others have posted we've not found it to be particularly popular. We liked it because there are options - we call him Samuel but others call him sam or Sammy. All work well. We felt it was a name that worked well as an adult as well as a child.

Gabriel is beautiful. Sadly for me two very good friends used it first.

Chocolatedaim he was almost 11lb at birth but it was all his very long heavy limbs and huge head! I am very average size so was stunned I could grow one so big, I still don't know how I pushed the blighter out ! My fav Gabriel is Gabriel Oake from Far From the Madding Crowd as well as the archangel of course.
