Help[Opinions] Re: Gabriel and John
in reply to a message by Llewella
How about two mns? Then you both win!
John, paradoxically, seems more established than Gabriel, even though Gabriel is more fashionable at the moment and John is in decline. Or maybe it's achieved a bounce? I'd use John over Gabriel any time, for family reasons and also, though I'm as partial to archangels as the next person, a name that shortens naturally to Gay seems unwise. And Gabe just is unattractive! However, I'm well aware that this is meaningless for a mn, so either would do and I continue to favour John in loving memory of my Great-Uncle Jack!
