Help[Opinions] I love it
in reply to a message by Link
but I could never personally use it (as a fn at least) because the religious conotations are so strong. My cousin and his wife were thinking of this for their little boy Lachlan which I was over the moon about at the time.
I also think it would sound great with an Irish name and it would sound nice with your daughter's names. Shea, Caoimhe and Gabriel have a good flow when you say them together :)
Can I throw in the suggestion of Gabriel Seamus? It has been on my list of "love-but-could-never-use" for ages. Do you like it?

I absolutely LOVE it. Do you think Shea Eleni and Gabriel Seamus are too much though? What other Irish names would you use as a mn?
Gabriel Oisin?
Gabriel Declan?
Gabriel Fionn?
Gabriel Pearce?
Gabriel Malachi?
Gabriel Cadoc? (Welsh)
Gabriel Eamonn?
Any other suggestions?
PS, I'm so glad to hear you think it makes a nice sibset! Do you think it's too Non-irish with Shea and Caoimhe though? I know it's silly, but I wouldn't want a potential son to grow up thinking, "Why am I the ONLY one in the family to not have a traditional Irish name?"

I don't think Gabriel Seamus and Shea Eleni are too much. How often do you list the kids with their mns? And even then, Caoimhe would be in between.
I love Gabriel Declan, Gabriel Fionn and Gabriel Eamonn. I thought Gabriel Seamus would fit mainly because I remember you saying you wanted a form of James in a potential son's name. I don't know if I remembered that correctly?
I don't think it is not Irish enough, but maybe add an Irish mn? I know that with me and my siblings, my brother Michael and I both have Irish names that are our baptism names and the names our family calls us and then Eimear and Niamh obviously were Irish names and Anthony always felt left out that he had nothing. So now at the age of 7, Anthony has decided to 'change' his name to Anthony Fionnbharr (his current favourite name- he has an obsession with the myth of Fionn MacCool :p). Because Gabriel is so Catholic (which in my mind translates to Irish, just like Mary, Catherine and Danny are 'Irish' in my mind :p), paired with an Irish name it will fit in brilliantly.
Other suggestions:
Gabriel Sean
Gabriel Ruairi
Gabriel Aonghus
Gabriel Cian

Yes, true about James, but that is mostly for my husbands sake so I'm dreaming a little by considering other names...but you never know!
I agree with the catholic = irish especially in my moms generation. And I also agreed that using a traditional Irish mn would complete the idea.
Gabriel Sean is lovely (Sean is my husbands name)
Gabriel Cian is great.
Gabriel Bran is a name Dh would love as he has a crazy fasination with Ravens
Gabriel Torin - very cool - also loving this lately =)
Gabriel Tadhg - LOVE this.
Thanks!
