Huh?
Gabriel is a filler name to you? Well, whodathunkit. I've known only one male in my life with
Gabriel as a mn, and he actually chose to go by
Gabriel b/c he liked it so much better than his fn (
Thomas, I believe). Actually, that
Gabe was the only one I've ever met IRL, period. I'd put
Allen in the filler mn category for guys, but never
Gabriel.
And I find the name stunning. It's one of those names that makes me stop and go, "Wow, that's fanTAStic!"
