Same era, but close to Gabriel
These names follow Gabriel's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Gabriel. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Gabriel's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Gabriel's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Gabriel or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Gabriel itself are excluded.
