Hm, tricky.
Are you going to continue living in Spain?
If so, does it really matter that much when you visit England? People would pro. Gabriel in the English "male" way when you do, wouldn't they? It would just be that his sister is used to the Spanish pro., and seemingly that your father calls him by another name, that's where it could be confusing.

I think both names are nice. I wouldn't say that Gabriel is "a much nicer name than Patrick" or that Patrick is "really old-fashioned".
The problem seems to me that you're not comfortable with the pro. of either name in Spanish.
How does the father feel about it?
I would lean toward Patrick, maybe because I like the father's name bettar as MN, than father and son being called the same thing, but that's me.
There is the Spanish version Patricio, can't he just be called slightly different things in England and Spain?
Hope you'll figure it out.
Sorry to ramble on, but I face similair issues between America and Sweden, so I feel for your problem.
