Oooh, love them both. I'd go for Gabriel, I think. More classic.

Don't really like either TBH but I suppose if you name your child Saul, there's precedent for him to namechange to Paul later

I prefer Gabriel - makes me think of Far From the Madding Crowd ... and Bagpuss

Gabriel.
Not Saul, never liked that name.
Perhaps you should choose Daniel to go with Leo though...

I considered both when pregnant, but have two DDs. Gabriel is becoming quite popular at the moment, so on that basis I'd say Saul.

Gabriel is gorgeous. I don't like Saul at all.

Saul. 'Tis Slash from Guns'n'Roses real name. Can't get much cooler than that!

I really dislike the name Seth. It makes me think of Hillbillies sucking on straw for some reason. Sorry!

I love both names, but if I had to choose, I would go for Saul. Great names, as is Leo.
