Twin boys called...

Castiel and Gabriel? Cass and Gabe. This might be our compromise after DH conceded only 60% affection for Malchai but warming feelings towards Gabriel.

Thoughts?

Gabriel is amazing! Don’t like Castiel though. It sounds like a medieval weapon or something. Caspian? Classism? Casper? Love them all!

Icantthinkofanewname87 · 04/10/2019 15:10

Cassian! Not classism 🤦‍♀️

Icantthinkofanewname87 · 04/10/2019 15:11

Gabriel and Malachi are cool together too! Gabe and Mac sounds great!

MissHenty · 04/10/2019 16:47

Is Castiel a name? The nn Cass just makes me think “gas”

bridgetreilly · 04/10/2019 16:50

Cass is not a good nickname option, imo. Gabriel and Malachi are great. You could also consider:
Gabriel and Caspian
Gabriel and Caspar
Gabriel and Sebastian
Gabriel and Michael
Gabriel and Raphael.

Naomimi · 04/10/2019 16:52

Love those together! Cass is an amazing nickname, less keen on Gabriel but love Gabriel.

Not castial, doesn't sound like a name to be honest but I love Gabriel and I like malachi.

Is Castiel a name?
Yup, he's an angel.
My concern is the name endings are spelt the same but pronounced differently.

So Cass T el
And Gay bree ul
And whether that will be confusing and I'll end up with a Gay bree el which sounds more feminine as in Gab ree el

Gabriel and Clarence?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/10/2019 17:25

Gab-ree-el is the feminine Gay-bree-el
is masculine form. You seem to have it the other way around.
Castiel sounds too try hard and Cass is very feminine and pretty.
Gabriel (Gabe) is fab.
I love Malachi.
Other suggestions
Gabriel and Elijah
Gabriel and Jacob
Gabriel and Moses
Gabriel and Finbar
Gabriel and Rueben
Gabriel and Zachary

Gummibaerchen1 · 04/10/2019 17:27

Gabriel and Quentin
Gabe & Quinn

NoSauce · 04/10/2019 17:32

Yes OP I like them. Don’t like Malachi sorry.

SallyWD · 04/10/2019 17:36

I knew a Cassius called Cass. He was very cool. I prefer Cassius to Castiel.

GregoriaTheGreat · 04/10/2019 17:39

Not Mal(a)chai, as he'll be called Mal. And that will make people think he's really called Malcolm, which would be most unfair on a baby.

Ludways · 04/10/2019 17:39

Live Gabriel but dh vetoed! Not keen on two Angels names together.

NoSauce · 04/10/2019 17:47

Cassius and Gabriel = gorgeous

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 04/10/2019 17:50

Cassius and Gabriel scans better, imho, different sounds overall, iyswim. I think Cass and Gabe are lovely diminutives... and I don't subscribe to the MN thing that you can't choose a nickname. I did and he's still using it at 15

123Dancewithme · 04/10/2019 17:55

Gabriel and Malachi or Cassius and Gabriel are better.

You seem to have it the other way around Tbh I'm so tired I trust your reading and comprehension over my own 😂

Gabe & Quinn Erm you might have the first and second name there, Gabriel Quinn

Gabriel is lovely. As pp. I prefer Cassius or Caspar but do like Cass shortening. Gabe and Cass go well together.

Yes but if I was naming the kids after Supernatural characters I'd have Cowley and Sam 😂
