Middle name for Gabriel

Still have 10 weeks to go but have now decided to call our new baby boy Gabriel or Theo. Our surname is Pritchard. DH really likes George as a middle name but not too sure if it is too many g's and if it goes with Gabriel.
I really like Alexander, James, Jude, Jack and Lucas, but don't know which to go for or any other suggestions!
Never thought boys names could be so hard to choose! Thanks in advance! Dawn

If you choose Alexander your ds's initials will be GAP.

I personally like James.

I think George would be fine, but like James or Jude as well. Joseph also sounds good.

DD (5 weeks old) would have been Gabriel if she had been a "he". Middle name would have been George. Funnily enough, Theo and Jude were our other shortlisted boys names before we settled on Gabriel.

My favourite combo was initially Gabriel Joseph, but did wonder whether it would be a bit like the cast list for a nativity play....."Gabriel, Joseph and the 3 Wise Men...". If that doesn't bother you in itself, then I think that the names actually go really well together.

James works well too. As do any of the ones listed above! (not sure I like Gabriel and Theo together though).

We have a Theo John, a Gabriel James (and a Rafael Joseph) so I'm entirely biased ... buuut I think they're great names. We decided to give a beautiful sounding/meaning first name with a solid, traditional middle name in case any of them hated their name when they grew up so they could be known by their middle name. So far, Theo and Rafael love their names - Gabriel's too little to have an opinion yet(5 weeks)!
Any of the combinations above sound good. Have fun choosing!

My DS is Gabriel Gray, but really like Alexander as a middle name, and if it is George, like the two Gs together.

Thanks for all the fab posts and advice, it is so helpful to hear different peoples opinions. Just need to get our thinking caps on and have a good idea and I guess when he is born we will know for sure the right name, thanks so much Dawn
