And yeah, I'm undecided about the name if Gabe really really is a girl. I could change it to Gabrielle and Gabby as the nickname, but that defeats the original reason for giving her that name. We'll see.
I think you should leave the name as-is. Gabe has no peers to reinforce the societal expectation of Gabe being a male's name, so it really doesn't matter. Why not de-sex the name a little? I see no harm it letting Gabe extend to females. It happened to Pat, Sam, and Chris.
