Already overdue and still not decided on a name… what do people think of Gabriel, Jude or Gray? And how popular are they in your area?

Gabriel is my fave. Really don’t like Gray. Jude also nice but more popular than Gabriel I think.

Dsisproblem · 03/12/2021 16:02

Gabriel or Jude

Twizbe · 03/12/2021 16:02

Not Grey, but other 2 are really nice.

At this point I'd just wait until baby is here and see which suits them best.

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 03/12/2021 16:05

I know 1 Grey and 1 Jude so not hugely popular but I like them all.
My favourite is Gabriel.

TheBeautifulSouth44 · 03/12/2021 16:05

Jude is my favourite, then Gabriel but not keen on Gray (sorry!)

escapingthecity · 03/12/2021 16:06

Gray is a surname. People will think it's a typo for Gary. See which of the other two suits him when he arrives.

Holly60 · 03/12/2021 16:07

Jude then Gabriel

user1493494961 · 03/12/2021 16:08

Gabriel.

Changethetoner · 03/12/2021 16:09

How about Grayson? (i'm not keen on just Gray).

angelaEhen · 03/12/2021 16:09

Jude is lovely, I don't like the other two

irishfarmer · 03/12/2021 16:09

I like Jude and Gabriel. Neither are popular around where I live. Not a fan of Gray

Santaischeckinglists · 03/12/2021 16:10

My Gabriel is 21. Still love it. Never had any negative comments yet.

hopingforabrighterfuture2021 · 03/12/2021 16:16

I love Jude, like Gabriel and Gray is not for me. Jude of Gabriel are both lovely names.

Bobbybobbins · 03/12/2021 16:21

Like Gabriel and Jude. Not keen on Gray at all though could be a nickname for Grayson, Graham.

Softwonder · 03/12/2021 16:23

Gray makes me think of "50 shades of", or the (now very dated) penchant for decorating houses in grey - which makes me think it will be naff by the time he's 2.

Jude and Gabriel are both nice. In the same vibe, what about Tate?

IslaInthesun · 03/12/2021 16:27

No Gray. I always think it's short for Graham and I don't think that's a nice name.

Gabriel is my favourite

WhoppingBigBackside · 03/12/2021 17:50

I don't like Jude or Gray at all and am not keen on Gabriel, mainly because it will be shortened

PilatesPeach · 03/12/2021 17:51

Not Grayson - reminds me of Larry Grin but I do like all 3 OP

Rebelmcstreettuff · 03/12/2021 18:00

Love Gabriel,wanted it for my 1st but husband wasn't keen,has always been my favourite boys name.

MopaniTree · 03/12/2021 18:04

I like Jude the most and secondly Gabriel. Not too keen on Gray. Neither if the first two are overly popular I don't think.

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 03/12/2021 18:05

Please not gray!

The others are both nice.

BiscuitLover3679 · 03/12/2021 19:05

Gabriel or Jude, please not Gray.
Jude is more popular near me so I'd go with Gabriel.

hivemindneeded · 03/12/2021 19:12

Gabriel is lovely.
Jude is OK.
Not Gray. Reminds me of supercheesy 50 shades.
