Gabriel is pleasant. I like most G's though, Gideon, Gareth, Gilead, even Gavin... Honestly, I know its more popular, but I prefer Aidan to Edan. Or Alan? Or just Dan. Luke is nice. I guess there's a reason you can't use it up front?

Not really a fan of Edan. Quite like Gabriel. What style are you looking for ?? What are your other kids' names ?? I do like Luke. How about: William / Will / Liam George Harry / Harrison / Henry Nate / Nathaniel Hunter / Archer Levi James Edward Charles Rafferty Theo Leo Felix Frederick / Freddie Hendrix

Sorry, not a fan of Edan or Gabriel - though prefer Gabriel if had to choose. I agree with pps - Is Aidan a possibilty, or Luke?

I really love Gabriel! I don't like Edan as much and wouldn't know how to pronounce it. Is it kind of like 'ee' and then 'dan' as in Daniel? I think Eden is better, but Aidan would be better still, IMO.

Love Gabriel After three boys, when fourth was due (sex unknown) we tossed up Gabriel and Raphael - Rafe for short. In the end we were leaning toward Raphael, as we preferred Rafe to Gabe. Ended up moot - had a girl

I like both names and would keep the spelling Edan for a boy. Good Celtic name. Gabriel Luke suffers from the clash of the 'ls'. The combo of Edan Luke works better. This post has been edited by Gudrun: 24/02/2013, 03:30 PM

I don't like Edan at all. I love Gabriel though.
