   Me and his father are both Italian and we chose Adrian for our first sons name and Gabriel for our second both are Italian names. Gabriel Lucas flows so well together. I don’t like that it’s biblical but love the meaning behind the name.

   Gabriel is a name from the Bible and his daddy actually picked it out.

   I wanted a strong bibical name which was also representative of a strong yet gentle male name.

   I named my son Gabriel (meaning; Warrior of God) because in 2008 I had a horrific car accident where I was pronounced dead at the scene then a few doctors told me that I would never be able yo have a baby of my own after 6 mis-carriages. But my son held strong through the pregnancy and delivery, proving that the doctors are not God.

   We chose Gabriel for the name for the meaning. His name means God is my strength.

   My husband had chosen this name when he was a young teen & always said if he had a boy he’d name him that. So that’s where Gabriel got his name

   We both love the name! Plus its Biblical so that’s another plus

   I’m so very glad he’s in our lives & apart of our family

   My husband chose the name when he saw Gabriel in the OR. It was on our shortlist as we wanted a name that wasn’t to common but had biblical roots.

   I find it a bit of a hurdle to say some times but it really suits him.

   We chose Gabriel because it is a guardian angels name and after 7 miscarriages leading up to Gabriel’s birth, we wanted a way to remember those losses and honor them in his namesake. His middle name is also special, Adaiah- Hebrew meaning “gift sent from Jehovah“. And a gift he is.

   * Why and how did you chose the name Gabriel? Before my husband and I got married we decided that if we ever had a boy that his name would be Gabriel because of the archangel.
   * What do you like (or dislike) about the name Gabriel? How folks automatically want to pronounce it like the girl version and we have to correct them.

    My sisters named my baby Gabriel because his due date was the 24th of December and it comes from the angel Gabriel the one who told Mary and Joseph in the Bible that she would be having a son.

    Gabriel has always been one of my favourite names. It’s a strong name but can also be shortened to Gabe and still be effective. It’s also because he is my little angel after being told I possibly wouldn’t be able to have children.

    One night, I overheard my husband and son reading the story of the angel, Gabriel, announcing the birth of Jesus to Mary. After my son was in bed, I told my husband that I really liked that name, and he agreed – even though it had already been crossed off our name list. After that, it was the name we liked most! We are so happy with it.

    My husband picked the name, actually. He always wanted his firstborn boy to be named Gabriel, after one of the first angels. And, what an appropriate name for our baby boy! He had a rough start, with the cord around his neck and had inhaled fluid into his lungs. We almost thought we’d lost him – he IS our little angel.

    We choose the name for the meaning. Each time his name is spoken what it means is being spoken over him

    It’s my favorite Spanish name and happens to be daddy’s name, too.

    We chose his name the day after he was born. We had a short list of names we liked but didn’t want to pick until we met our son.

    My daughter’s name is linked with my family, so we wanted to do something for out son that would give a link to my husband’s family. They all have the same initials, GAL. So we chose our favorite G name for out son, that wasn’t already used. He also has the same middle name as his dad, Andrew 🙂
    Although I don’t hate the shortened form of his name, Gabe, we don’t use it.
    It is nice that we can celebrate a Catholic feast day twice – once on the feast of the Archangels and once on the Annunciation. Gabriel is the angel that announced to Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus. Since my name is Mary, we celebrate that day as a double celebration!

    There is a ceramic angel in our bedroom gi en to me and my husband by my parents. We kept looking at him and praying for a baby. There we got pregnant with our boy and we named him Gabriel, just like the angel from the bible.
