Giver and baby's name


Were they both Gabriel? When Jonas runs into the giver's home he calls him Gabriel. And the baby at his home is Gabe as well. Can't remember the book, is it the same? Kind of odd that they'd have the same name??

I don't remember him calling him that name...haven't read the book. But what a good movie. Maybe Gabe is his real grandson or their souls link somehow.

The Giver wasn't given a name in the book. He was only referred to by his title, Receiver of Memories, later by Jonas as Giver of Memories.
