Nicholas Gabriel vs. Gabriel Nicholas

We love both of these names but we can’t decide which to use as a first and which to use as a middle. I am leaning toward [name]Nicholas[/name]… We also have a daughter named [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]. What are your thoughts?

Thank you!!!

I think [name]Nicholas[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] flows better, and I like the sibset [name]Nicholas[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name].

Additionally, there are 2 reasons why I (personally) wouldn’t use [name]Nicholas[/name] in the middle:

[name]Nicholas[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name] as middle names = a whole lot of [name]Christmas[/name]. (St. [name]Nick[/name], [name]Noel[/name] as an alternative for [name]Christmas[/name])
Having both children with “N” middles may put you in a rut to continue the pattern if you ever have future children.

[name]Edit[/name]: [name]Just[/name] realized that [name]Nicholas[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] is still a lot of [name]Christmas[/name]… Since [name]Gabriel[/name] is the angel who informed [name]Mary[/name] of her pregnancy. At least your daughter’s name isn’t [name]Mary[/name] [name]Noelle[/name], or you’d have yourself a holiday special

Definitely [name]Nicholas[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]. [name]Nicholas[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] sound very cute together.

I vote for [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name]. I quite like the n middle names thing

I’d choose based on your last name. The middle won’t be known by most people, and both combos sound good enough in and of themselves.

my vote is for gabriel nicholas! very handsome and sounds great with his sister.

For the first name, I’d use whichever of the two sounds best with your last name.

[name]Nicholas[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]. I’m not that keen on [name]Gabriel[/name] so that is the reason I picked this one.

east93 · November 10, 2012, 12:47pm

I like [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name] more, but I think [name]Nicholas[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] is a better set.
