Between the two though I would choose Imogen to go with Isabella.

Gabriella and Isabella is too samey I think and she will get called Gabby so if you don't like that then I would avoid Gabriella.

Hmm. I like both names but think they could both be a bit too similar to your other daughter Isabella?

Imogen definitely - but then I have an Imogen so I would say that!

I like both esp. Gabriella which Dh has vetoed as he reckons it's a porn star name. I hope to work on him bit have been trying for years ! . I love it. Like Imogen too. Agree Gabby isn't as lovely as Gabriella in full but don't think it's terrible.

I prefer Gabriella as a name, but agree that it's too similar to Isabella. Imogen and Isabella had a nice ring though.

Definitely Imogen, very pretty and more unusual.
I also think Gabriella and Isabella are quite similar and you definitely run the risk of very similar nicknames as they grown up.

I don't love the nn gabby but can live with it. But don't like the idea of it being her name all the time as in Gabby Logan. I can't have Ella or Ellie as I already have a daughter named Isabella/Bella.

Gabriella by a long way - love it!

Gabriella seems a little too frilly for me personally, I do like Gabrielle though. I love Imogen Smile

Gabriella

Oops, sorry got over-excited! Smile

Love them both, and can't really choose between them. Imogen Gabriella would let you use them both (not sure the other way round works.

If you don't want to use one as a middle name then I guess it might come down to your surname & how they each sound with that if you can't decide any other way.
