[Opinions] Re: BAs from UK
in reply to a message by Sofia
Wow, a female Gabriel. Before the 1950s they weren't unheard of here (much like female Noels) but they must be really, really rare now. I have no idea if it's pronounced differently on girls; if not, I think it might be quite an uncomfortable name to have.Interesting to see Gretel, and Wilbur!Also: my favourite great-uncle George died earlier this year. I said tearfully at the time that I thought all babies should now be named George after him. Um, looks like I got my wish? @@

Was Gabriel traditionally usable for girls in the UK? Or was it a case of gender-bending (like how there are American women named Rene instead of Renee)?
