How can I sell my husband on the name Gabriel?

okay, so you probably just all saw my question about the name Julien. I'm not totally sold on it but its the only one hubby and I have remotely agreed upon. I do LOVE the name Gabriel but hubby has been saying NO WAY. I just feel like that's my little boy's name. I really feel like Gabriel is it. I have been trying to put it our of my mind because my husband has said NO NO NO right from the start but I cant stop thinking that THIS is his name and if I don't give him this name I will regret it. How can I sell my husband on this name I feel is so perfect?

    Here are some ways.

    ♥ 1. Tell him that "mother's intuition" isn't wrong.

    ♥ 2. Try to sell him on the meaning.

    ♥ 3. Search people who have done good and memorable things with this name.

    You are the one who is writing out the sheet to send to BDO(Births, Deaths, Marriages).

    Other solution just put Gabriel as the middle name. Julien Gabriel is a nice name.

    i think of Gabriel sounds female and Gabe merely isn't very wonderful. Sorry! I do think of Greyson is a gorgeous call inspite of the undeniable fact that! Tyler and could are ok yet they are very widely used. stable success!

    Julian sounds like a beautiful name but for a boy. Gabriel is a bit more girly so if you are expecting a girl it is a better name.

    My husband and I had the same problem with our first daughter, I basically said im carrying her and giving birth to her im picking the name, lol.

    The name eventually grew on him though and he now loves it.

    i agree with the first answer.

    Also, if you are christians then Gabriel is the name of the messenger angel, one of the 3 angels named in the Bible and extremely important.

    If not then im not sure besides what armywife said.

    I don't know, but if he hates it that much, than it will constantly be a source of tension between you and your husband if you give him that name. Don't name him something that one of you really hate.

    I think it has to be something you both like. I gave up some names that I liked because my husband didn't like them.
