[Opinions] Re: BAs from UK
in reply to a message by Sofia
Well I knew George was popular but not that popular!
Funnily enough, I didn't even register that Gabriel was a girl when I saw this yesterday. Maybe the parents didn't realise it was a boy's name. I actually had to tell my brother recently that the angel Gabriel was male and not female (!) so maybe these parents are under the same misapprehension?! I remember when we were at school, the video we watched about sex education featured a woman presenter and her baby girl and I'm pretty certain the baby was called Gabriel.
Anyway, I dislike Grace (boring), really can't see the appeal of Gretel (or Wilbur) and would have preferred Serena Gwen as I dislike Gwen as a first name.
