Aaaarggh.

We were definate on Kate for ages. Im only 14 weeks pregnant and if our last ds was a girl he would have been Kate so I was sure we wouldnt budge on it.

Have been looking at other names "just in case" and now I also adore Gabrielle or Gabriella. I think its stunning but am worried if I use it I'll regret not using Kate!!.

What do you think?

Prefer Gabriella, but absolutely love Kate! x

I would wait until you are due tbh.
I think Gabriella is a very different type of name to kate.
Gabriella says very flighty, dark skinned, haired, girl a very frilly name. Whereas Kate is more solid and timeless.
Btw I do like both!

Stick with Kate, it's classy, timeless, elegant yet down to earth. Gabrielle though pretty does sound a bit pretentious to me.

Like both, but I'd stick with Kate :)
