Gamaliel

I came across this (male) name today when I was going through the list of Biblical names here on the site, and it really jumped out at me. Unfortunately it's a little reminicent of a couple female names, so I'd probably relegate it to mn status. (It's pronounced ga-MAY-lee-el, for the record.)

Edward Gamaliel
Jude Gamaliel
Luke Gamaliel
Phoenix Gamaliel
Seth Gamaliel
William Gamaliel

I threw together those combos really quick but nothing's really jumping out at me, except maybe Phoenix Gamaliel. It's a bit much but I think it's kinda cool. Anyone have any other suggestions?

It's not an angel name

He was a teacher of Paul, not an angel. And I believe only a couple angels were ever mentioned by name in the Bible.

It sounds like a musical instrument. Also, I call my grandmother Gammy, so it reminds me of that.

I like Gamaliel in the mn spot. Its a bit long for my tastes to use as a fn unless it had a great nn and I don't like any nn possibilities.
I don't usually like Jude, but Jude Gamaliel is lovely.

It's interesting and new to me. I kind of like it, especially with Jude and Luke.
