[Opinions] Re: Gabriel
in reply to a message by Adelle
It's an excellent name, and one I considered for my own son, but I thought it ill-advised because my last name starts with a B and he would inevitably be called "Gabe." (Just put those two facts together, think about it, and think what other boys would do with his name at school.)
As for a middle name, I think it depends entirely on what your last name is, and therefore how the names would all flow together. I realize you may not want to reveal that on the web.

I haven't seen you around much before the last month or so, but I noticed that you mentioned this to someone else. It is typically advised on this board not to reveal the surname, and while we all know already that surname is important to flow, we ask for combo suggestions anyway because any random suggestions might be good inspiration. You do not need a surname to come up with FN/MN combos, so please stop asking or commenting that because we're not going to change it, and as you have probably caught on by now, asking for combo suggestions is a big part of this board.

I didn't ask for a surname, and specifically noted the wisdom of not revealing it. If you think I'm trying to get someone to reveal a last name, then you should re-read my comments. My comments have not in any way sought to change your policies.
I know they're not trying to change policies; it's more to the effect of "we already know; stop beating a dead horse."
Maybe it's a dead horse if you're someone who reads every comment made on every thread. Otherwise, I don't think it's so bad to make a similar comment to two people.
