[Opinions] Gabriel
What do you think of the name Gabriel?Gabriel has been an off-and-on favorite of mine since the early days of me being a "name nerd", and it has recently made it back onto my favorites list for a boy. The main reason this name has sometimes been lower on my list is its increasing popularity.

I really dislike the name Gabriel. It's just too "yuppy" for my tastes.

It has a nice sound to it, but it's not a name that I would use.

It's definately a favorite of mine. I love it! I used to think it was a feminine-ish name (and I dislike feminine names for boys) but when I joined the site I started to think otherwise. I definately will name a son this! (Not for a while though, lol)P.S.
What do you think of the sibset Gabriel and Zavier? They seem to fit to me. What about you?Camille

I've recently actually started liking this name, along with Gabe. I had always thought of Gabriel as a "girly" name, but I read a book with one of the main characters named this and started to like it. Kristen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really like Gabriel; however I LOATHE Gabrielle or Gabriella for a girl mostly because I hate the name Gabby... Do not be afraid that your life will end; rather, be afraid that it will never begin at all

I like it very very much! One of my favorite combos (in my top five) is Gabriel Henry. Yes, the popularity is a bit off-putting, but I like it so much, it isn't kry8ive, and it's very classic, so I can't help but have it as a favorite.

I used to love this name a lot, but I've recently grown a bit tired of it because it's become so popular. Still, I do think it's a great, elegant name.
