Gabriel has held its ground, ranked #80 in 2025 and never far from its best of #61 in 2018 — a name with lasting rather than trend-driven appeal. The name has been a consistent presence in UK records since 1996. It has featured in the UK top 100 for 15 years, demonstrating solid mainstream recognition.
