Lionstar and janeite thanks for your responses it took DP and I ages to decide upon Gabriel only for one of our worst fears about the name to materialise!

Perhaps the receptionist was not British and wasn't familiar with the name?

I really like Elias and Lorcan from your list.

Love Lorcan!
Or Hugo.

I've known 2 little boys called Gabriel, nicknames are 'Gabe' which is cool.

Out of the others I love Noah, but the rest are fine.

Should also say that Gabriel is a fab name and Gabe is cool.

DanJARMouse · 05/06/2010 22:37

Noah
Hugo
Dylan
Elias
Lorcan

HelenFF · 05/06/2010 22:44

Why not officially have him as Gabe? It's a nice name in itself and Gabriel may well have been shortened to it. Otherwise, stick to Gabriel - it's one of my fave names.

Saying that, I like the others you have suggested too.

Dylan, Hugo, Elias, Noah, Lorcan

cyteen · 05/06/2010 22:47

Dylan
Elias
Noah

That's it.

bigbluebump she was not foriegn ( I think I know what you mean though,for instance the portugese for Daniel being pronounced Danielle) Believe me,I would have been only to happy to have had a reason to dismiss her error.

Thank you all for your input.

Gabriel is lovely and I do like Gabe. Not sure for a man though but a lot of names are like that. I'd stick with it.
