Gideon!I want to like Gabriel, but I just dont. Never have. Gideon on the other hand is very cool.

That's a tough one...Because I really love both names. Gabriel is so strong and masculine and I love the nn Gabe and then there's Gideon, which is also strong and masculine and not something you hear very often. I'd be more inclined to go with Gideon, just because I have an aunt and cousins with the surname of Gabriel.

Gabriel!I love this name. I don't care for Gideon, it sounds really weird to me. I love Gabriel Alexander the best, though Gabriel Augustin, Gabriel Simon, and Gabriel Scott are really nice too.

Gideon by a long way. I would consider Gideon for a son.I don't dislike Gabriel but the angel connotation puts me off. I quite like the nn Gabe though.

Both are nice... would depend on your surname and what you'd pair it with.
Franz Gabriel or Gabriel Frances might sound good.
Gideon Christopher?

Gideon!Though I love Gabriel too, Gideon is superior. I have a son named Gideon, but that doesn't mean I can't be perfectly objective about it. ;pI have few mn combos for Gideon, because I always think of my son and I wouldn't rename him (my husband chose his mn, Brody). But here's what I already have on my PNL.Gideon Edward
Gideon Quinn
Gideon TannerPerhaps I can think of a few more. Some might be too far afield for you...Gideon Alexander (that would be odd for me! but it sounds really good)
Gideon Benedict (I pair everything with Benedict, sorry)
Gideon Dominic
Gideon Kelly
Gideon Leonidas
Gideon Lioncoeur
Gideon Midnight
Gideon Phillip
Gideon Phineas
Gideon Ramsay
Gideon Romeo
Gideon Thaddeus
Gideon Whittaker
Gideon Wolf
I also have a few pre-existing Gabriel combos, and I do sincerely love Gabriel, so here ya go.Gabriel Dane
Gabriel Diego
Gabriel Saber
Gabriel Seth
Gabriel Shane That was fun! Why didn't I examine Gideon sooner? Now if you'll excuse me I think I have to go add some combos to my PNL. ;D
