HelpNickname or shortname help please!
Hi everyone
Our son is Gabriel Patrick and I was wondering if anyone could come up with a name which isn´t Gabe, Gabi or Paddy. I don´t mind if it´s for one of the names or for both together, just that as we live in Spain "Gabe" sounds strange (people say GAY WHO?!)and I don´t like Gabi (Spanish nickname)because it remindss me of a girl.
Open to all suggestions,
Many thanks

The best nns just happen naturally.
Squeezing one out of a name can seem kind of forced. I'd just stick with Gabriel if Gabe doesn't work. Maybe something will just come along.
Otherwise... maybe Geb, said like the name Jeb?

I don't think it really needs a nn. I actually dislike most nn associated with Gabriel. So, being creative:
Pat
Abe
Riel (REE-uhl / "real")
Iel (like EE-uhl)
Abri (A-bree, long A)

I was thinking about this also
How about using ABEL as a shortname for Gabriel. I realize it's a name in itself, but I also think it would be cool to be used like this.

To my sweet muse
Every time you rip my heart out
Every time you break it
I pick up the pen I hold in my hands
And write the most beautiful poems
But you know what
If it's alright by you
I'd rather be happy than a poet

Garick is a good one. Sounds like it could be a name on its own (Garrick)... Uh, oh. We might just be inspiring the creative namers of tomorrow! :)

Gabs? G? GP?
I don't think Gabriel needs a nickname, it's short enough that people can use it in its full form.

Riel, pr. Ree-al ? or Rick or Ricky for Patrick.......or Briel (maybe Riel and Briel are too feminine........!?)........but I prefer Gabriel, why do you want to shorten it its pretty in its own
