So, very unexpected but much loved baby arriving in December. We don't know the sex, won't find out. We like Gabriel for a boy and Honor Joy for a girl.

Congratulations!
I love Gabriel!
Honor Joy is quite nice.
Do you want any other ideas?

What a lovely surprise. I preferred not to know in advance what I was having because I think it takes away some of the natural wonder/surprise.
Your choice of names sounds really good and not too popular.

Congratulations and lovely names.

Thank you, I'm 43, have three teens and we decided to go for it. Married 18 years and together 25. So far so good on scans.

Gabriel is a lovely name, along with the nickname Gabe. Have you thought about Gabriella for a girl? A friends daughter has that name and I think it’s really beautiful!

LawlorsNaa · 06/05/2024 20:29

I do like Gabriella.
