How do you pronounce it?

Did you know?
- While ゲイブ is the standard phonetic translation, some Japanese people choose 'ateji' characters to give the name a meaning, such as 憩 for 'relaxation' and 舞 for 'dance'.
- When introducing yourself as ゲイブ, it is common to add the suffix さん to others' names, but you must never add it to your own name.
- Because the 'v' sound does not exist natively in Japanese, ゲイブ uses a modified 'b' sound, which is why the romanization is 'geibu'.
