Help[Opinions] When in Spain, do as the Spaniards do
in reply to a message by Mig
You can call him Gabe at home but accept that other people pronounce Gabriel the Spanish way.
When in Britain, you still call him Gabe. Cannot his sister call him Gabe too? If you stay on in Britain, he will be called Gabriel the English way. And your little daughter will automatically pronounce it so to.
I think both Gabriel and Patrick are great names. Even if his granddad loves to call him Patrick, you don't have to switch the names. At least not if you can't stand the Spanish pronounciation of Patrick.
"But it’s all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
