User Comments about the name Gabriel


Comment left Nov 09, 2009: "Our son was born in 2006 and is Gabriel Thomas. We call him Gabey, Gabes and Gabe. It suits him so well. He was born in the USA but we now live in Germany and it's a classic name that works well in many cultures and languages. He is tall and big for his age (was almost 11 lbs at birth!) and it is a sweet but masculine name. He was born on the Feast of John the Baptist, June 24th and Gabriel announced John's conception."
