Gabriel gets my vote. I think it's so handsome and strong and I love the meaning of the name.

I hate Sebastian. It's so very ugly, and it just feels slimy and weak to me.

It's one of my all time favorites. I do like Gabriel as well, but not nearly as much. It's a bit too biblical.

Sebastian. I have a Sebastian, and he is the sweetest boy. I actually didn't love the name when we first named him, but it was the only name we agreed on. It suits him so well, I now Love his name.
I also like Gabriel, but maybe it's just my accent, but I find it a little feminine, and soft. I guess it doesn't help that I've know a few Gabrielle's, and Gabriella's.

I prefer Gabriel I think it's a really handsome name and a nice meaning. Sebastian is growing on me, I thought it was a bit long and boring as I knew a few Sebastian's and one wasn't very nice, so I wasn't fond of the name but I like it a lot more know but I much prefer Gabriel as it seems really elegant and historical to me.

Definitely Gabriel, although it's hard to articulate the reason. They're both elegant but Gabriel is more approachable than Sebastian.
I especially like the sort of Tolkien-elf-like sound of the "iel" ending. Or maybe it's the whole "briel" sound. It gives the name a bit of a magical vibe.
And the "stian" sound in Sebastian kind of catches in the middle and makes it harder to say. I still like Sebastian but Gabriel is a lot better IMO.

prefer the meaning. But I like the sound of both.

Why?.....because I prefer the S sound to the G sound. And I must admit I would love a son whose NN was Bash!

Both are nice,, I can't manage to pick one over the other.
