So I love the name [name]Gabriel[/name], and I know a few. But I don’t know anyone named [name]Gabe[/name], a nickname I like. What do y’all think of it? Too close to [name]Gay[/name]? Too old fashioned? Any other nicknames for [name]Gabriel[/name]?
I guess you could use [name]Abe[/name] for [name]Gabriel[/name], but I think [name]Gabe[/name] is perfectly fine.
I agree [name]Gabe[/name] is fine. I have really only known one [name]Gabriel[/name] personally, and he went by the nn [name]Gabe[/name] almost exclusively. I really like it.
I like the suggestion of [name]Abe[/name]. In elementary school, I knew someone who had a cousin named [name]Gabriel[/name], and he went by [name]Gabby[/name]. I always thought that was kind of weird, haha, since [name]Gabby[/name]'s usually the nn for [name]Gabrielle[/name]/a. All the other nns I could maybe think of ([name]Gigi[/name], Briel, [name]Bri[/name], [name]El[/name], etc.) sound too girly to my ears.
Good luck!
[name]Gabe[/name], [name]Gab[/name] and [name]Gale[/name] are the only nns for [name]Gabriel[/name] I know. It’s a nice name.
