The usage of "Biblical Latin" should also be added to this name, for Gamaliel is also the form used in the Clementine Vulgate (1592) and the Nova Vulgata ("Neo-Vulgate", 1979). These two are respectively the former and current official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.Sources used:

Gamaliel looks hard to pronounce, and it sounds pretentious. It also brings to mind the aforementioned Warren G. Harding, and he wasn't exactly a great president.

I like this name. It sounds like it fits a wise teacher. Hence the reason I've named one of my characters, a centaur, Gamaliel.

I love this name too it also brightens up my day when I hear it or come across it. It's a Greek form of the Hebrew name meaning "Reward of God". The name is hard to pronounce so I use GAMA for short, or like I would say in Spanish "De Cariño."

I love this name... even though it is not popular or hard to pronounce, it brigthens up my day when I hear it. I suggest you name it to your baby boy that when he grows up he will earn a lot of chances and will be loved by many.
