What do you all think of Gabriel?
I had a dream the other night that we named our baby this.
My husband likes it very much but I am unsure because it is so popular.

Gabriel is one of my favourites. I think its lovely and classic =)

I don't like it. It's not really my style, it is very popular and it sounds very feminine to me.

[whenimdead.livejournal.com]

It's not that popular. All the Gabes I've known have been very nice people :]

[ringsandcoffee.livejournal.com]

It's been my favorite boys name since I was a teenager. I jut hope it doesn't reach Aidan-level popularity by the time I have a son.

[poutyshorty.livejournal.com]

It's one of my favourite names too, it's in my top 10 boys' names ^_^

I've loved it ever since I heard the song "Gabriel" by Najoua Belyzel, a French singer. No idea what she's singing about in the song cos it's in French but I still like it enough to like the name xD

i adore the name

I love Gabriel! I don't think it's too popular at all. It's common enough that it won't get weird looks, but it's also no Aiden or Jaden or Ethan or even a Jack -- I think you'd be fine naming your child Gabriel. I love it as Gabriel or as Gabe and I think it's great.

i absolutely love it :)

It's popular, but that's because it's a classic name, strong, masculine, and just plain nice. It's not as common as you would think; you won't come across it every day.

That said, it's my second favorite boys' name, after Julius. I looove it. Use it as a second name if you're concerned about its popularity. :)

first thought: arch angel. and i do think it sounds feminine, much like adrian in my eyes.. or ears in that case.

I like it - and the nn Gabe is cute.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

I've really liked it ever since I knew a really cute one in elementary school. It drifts in and out of my top 5; its definitely a favorite.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input :)

I work at a school and there are MANY little Gabriels, like at least one per class.
But I still think it's nice.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I think it's more classic that Aidan.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Yeah I really like Gabe too.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I work at a school and there is at least one Gabriel in every kindergarten class.
However, I think that is somewhat balanced by the fact that it is a classic name like Michael.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Gabe more than Gabriel!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool, thanks!

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Really? Must be my area, then. I hardly find any Gabriels around, sooo...

That's good to know, though! Thanks. :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I work in a very Italian area.

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

I really like it, and I don't think it's trendy or super popular, just a classic that's always going to be reasonably popular.

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

That would explain it! :D

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I like it. I've only known one Gabriel, who I went to high school with. (Born 1988 or 1989) He was a sweetheart, and he made me love the name. Unfortunately I also know a total b*tch named Gabriela, so I will never be able to use the name.

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

It's really growing on me and I love the nn Gabe.

[ringsandcoffee.livejournal.com]

I had the name Gabriel Aaron picked out for my first boy, then when I started liking the name Aidan (Probably due to Aidan Quinn from Benny and Joon), I changed it to Gabriel Aidan.

Guh, stupid name popularity.

[blue-suspenders.livejournal.com]

I love it.

[sxylilwitch.livejournal.com]

Love it! If my second is a boy, his middle name will be Gabriel...but I'll be calling him Gabe since he will be sharing his first name with his Father/Grandfather/Great Grandfather XP
