Jackson/ Jaxon or Gabriel?

We are down to these two names - DH favorite and mine.
Which name do you like better - why?

Keep in mind that popularity does not matter - because we live on a small Island and there are no Gabriels and nobody by the first name Jackson but it is a last name here.

Jackson / Jaxon nickname Jack / Jax
or
Gabriel but we would call him Gabe 99% of the time

(If we choose the name Jackson that is how I want to spell it - but DH wants to spell it Jaxon)

Hi,

I like both Jackson and Gabriel a lot. I especially like the nns Jack and Gabe. I'm actually not sure I can pick which one I like better! I do, however, prefer the Jackson spelling to the Jaxon spelling.

Sorry I wasn't much help!

Good Luck!

My pick is Gabriel, nn Gabe. I like that it's biblical and to me it has a nice flow or rhythm to it. it'a refined sounding name but Gaqbe is all boy. NIce combo. Jackson is a decent name too, but I prefer John, nn Jack if you're into Jack. Jackson is still a city in MIssissippi to me (where I live). I realize this isn't an association for you, but it may be for others. I just think Gabriel is a timeless choice and Jackson isn't. And PLEASE don't spell it Jaxon...that's the worst!

I like Jaxon spelled like that because I don't care for Jack but if it's spelled like this he might get Jax instead which I like better. I don't care for Gabriel at all.

I love Jackson, and if popularity isn't an issue than I would use that! I wish I could use it, but where I live there are so many little Jack's running around, I just wouldn't want to do that. Both are very nice, strong names. Gabriel is actually also a favourite of mine, but I do slightly prefer Jackson.

I like Gabriel the best but Jackson isn't bad. I just know sooo many kids named Jackson/Jack that I'm getting kind of tired of it. I know you said popularity isn't an issue but I would still go with Gabriel.

I won't be much help. ;) Normally I'd say definitely Gabriel/Gabe, but since popularity isn't an issue for you I think Jackson/Jack would also be fine. Just thought I'd mention for the record that I would never, EVER use the (mis)spelling Jaxon (just in case you're planning on showing your husband this to ensure the proper spelling of Jackson, if you do go with that one LOL). ;)
