The trade-off
- A settled meaning tied to a real ancient town, which is unusual and specific.
- Gabi and Bino are both ready short forms.
- Every letter is said, so Spanish speakers read it correctly at first sight.
- Gabriel is far better known and Gabi will be assumed to come from it.
- The town behind the name is obscure enough that the meaning needs explaining.
- Americans will flatten the vowels and say guh-BEE-noh.
