I like both and I love them together. They sound elegant and a little mysterious. Together they make me think of stone castles and tarnished armor.
Gabriel is common but I love how pretty it sounds as a full name (I just hate Gabe). Lucian is cool and not as common. I've only met 2 people with that name (and even then it wasn't quite the same name because one was a LOO-shen and one was a LOO-see-en).
Lucian Gabriel is better than Gabriel Lucian because it avoids the double L and the nickname Gabe.

I'm going against the grain. I think they are both terrible. Lucian is slightly better than Gabriel.

They are good, solid names and quite handsome. They go great together as a sibset imo. My combo preference is Lucian Gabriel.

Love both names, they work as a sib set. Prefer Gabriel Lucian if you are using both names on one kid.

Nice names, would be nice as a subset, also Gabriel Lucian is my pick

Gabriel is very respectable but...Average? I've met a million Gabriels and now the name has become synonymous for forget-abilitiy.
Lucien is deservingly charming, but wins the lottery for the most edgy name still in use. When I first heard the name Lucien, I immediately thought of Lucifer. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it came off as so incredibly obvious for me, that it ruined the name.

both sound great, and I'd go with Gabriel Lucian since Gabriel is a bit more normal
