I was looking through some name lists and found Gable for a boy. I think I like it. WDYT?

It has a very dashing sound to it. It would be a fine character name. I would think it rather silly to see in real life though, unless it were a family surname being used as a first name or something. It's much too wordy otherwise.

And OT, but your screenname cracks me up. :)

:) thank you

Works cute as a nn for Gabriel!

all I can think of is Clark Gable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

that was my first thought, too, but i sort of liked it for that. i think it's cool.

Like.

My first thought was Clark Gable. ^^
I don't care for it very much as a first name.

I have no opinion, however, your user name is OMG the best ever! :-D

hahah thank you!

It's part of a roof. So it seems kind of absurd as a name, to me.

i mean, "mark" is a name and that means something else, so i guess it just depends whether or not you thing names with double meanings are absurd

It reminds me of Anne of Green Gables, and Clark Gable. Those are good things for me.

"The boy's name Gable \g(a)-ble, gab-le\ is of Old French origin. Short form of Gabriel. The name is famous due to actor Clark Gable, who was often known by his surname."

I wouldn't choose it, but I think if I met a little boy named Gable I'd think, "Oh, that's a nice, unusual name.".

I don't like it.

I don't like it. I like it more as a short form of Gabriel than a name in it's own right. Strikes me too much as a surname sort of name and if there's no reasoning behind them, I don't like surnames as first names.
