Gabriel

• Gabriel is a strong, handsome name that I have really fallen in love with lately. It connotes someone of great character and passion. I am not fond of Gabe though.

• my little brother's name!

• It is a handsome biblical name. It sounds like a thoughtful yet very strong male. It also ages well. It has wonderful nick names (Gabe, Gable, Gabin).

• a beautiful name for a boy. Soft but strong. Obviously taken from the Archangel Gabriel. Biblical names are great because they have such a long and powerful history behind them.

• Sounds bright and sparkling, like a trumpet! (and the Angel Gabriel plays the trumpet to welcome people to Heaven).

• romantic and memorable

• It sounds so peaceful and dignified.

• If I ever have a son that will be his name

• It means God's messenger

• Gabriel George: Gabriel is so sweet! And George is strong, smart, mature- they balance each other.

• Gabriel Jacob: I have to love it, as I named my firstborn this. No, I did not know how common Jacob was at the time, and had I, I would likely have picked something else. But I like Jacob, it's classic and strong. Gabriel is the name I had picked out from elementary school on. I like the sound, and it strikes me as one of those name where the personality is not much revealed, leaving it up to the bearer of the name to fill in his own identity.

• Gabriel John- I just love the name Gabriel, John is my dad's name

• Gabriel Jonas: the classic biblical name, Gabriel, strong yet sensitive

• Gabriel Matthew: I love Gabriel as I think it sounds so cute. My mom's friend is using this name for her son who she is pregnant with. I love the middle name Matthew cos it is my crush's name :)

• Gabriel Morgen: My boyfriend's name is Gabriel (nn Gabe), such a gorgeous name, and the spelling of Morgen w/ and "e" looks more masculine.

• Gabriel Nickolas: Gabriel means "the strength of God" which is definitely a meaning to carry with pride, and Nickolas means "victory of the people" they're just very strong qualities that i'd love to instill in a child

Gabriel is one of the few angels in the bible mentioned by name. He was the one designated to let the virgin Mary know she was knocked up by God with Jesus. Gabriel means "God is my strength" or "hero of God." Incidentally, this is one of the most popular user-submitted names on namenerds.com--it started getting popular with visitors after the movie The Patriot came out, with Heath Ledger playing a character named Gabriel!
