[Opinions] Gabriel.

Gabriel is a gorgeous name! I never thought of it as a filler name myself, I must say.
Nice name
I like Gabriel. It's a very international name, and it isn't too girly either.
If I could I would add this to my favorites list. But...I remember a couple annoying guys from high school with Gabriel as either a first name or a last name. The memory lingers, so...I'd say no personally. I'd pick Rasul, if I'm really into the "messenger of God" meaning.

I don't think of it as filler; it's just a very popular name in general. Personally, I don't especially care for it. I find the "Gabe" sound unappealing.
O_o
Huh? Gabriel is a filler name to you? Well, whodathunkit. I've known only one male in my life with Gabriel as a mn, and he actually chose to go by Gabriel b/c he liked it so much better than his fn (Thomas, I believe). Actually, that Gabe was the only one I've ever met IRL, period. I'd put Allen in the filler mn category for guys, but never Gabriel.
And I find the name stunning. It's one of those names that makes me stop and go, "Wow, that's fanTAStic!"

Filler?
I have never thought of Gabriel as a filler mn. 1) I've never heard it as a mn. 2) I dont think it goes with anything and 3) I assiociate filler mn more with girls, since boy mn seem to have a wider range.
Gabriel is a great name, first or mn. I do agree I really dont like the nn Gabe, but after meeting a guy who insisted on Gabe, I grew to tolerate it in respect for him.

Never a filler name
I love it, I think it's very sexy. However, I dislike the nn Gabe (weird, I know).

Love it!!
I love it, and would definitely use it as a fn if it didn't have such a strong religious association. Which is why I would use it as a mn, where the religious reference wouldn't bug me so much. It is a strong and not so common name and so handsome.
Love it in general. As a first or middle name.
It's a very nice name.
I love it and it's high on my list of names for my second son.
