Re: Gabrien
You made it up first and wondered about the meaning after that - right? Well, you are luckier than you deserve - it seems you avoided anything obscene, blasphemous, amusing or commercial.From the look of it, you were probably merging Gabriel and O'Brien. Only you will know why.

yes u're right. i was thinking of gabriel because i like the nickname gabe, but don't like the name gabriel in case it was mistaken for gabrielle. i was also thinking i liked the names "aiden" and I thought "rien" was a modern type ending. i figured even though i'd never heard it before that it must be a name, it's not too weird or anything. i did find something that said it means "strong as a lion" but i also just found that it means "Strength of God" in Modern English...a bit of a difference, but maybe not. i'm still glad i chose this name though.
thanks for the help
