Gabrielle but not a fan of either.

midsomermurderess · 26/06/2019 13:11

I prefer Gabrielle. I like Gabita as a diminutive.

Gabriella sounds more classy & elegant to me.

Kanga83 · 25/06/2019 18:04

Not keen on Gabby, but prefer Gabriella to Gabrielle. Similar names I think to them are - Arabella, Isabella/Isobel, Francesca, Adrianna, Angelica, Juliana,

Gabriella

Gabriella

I am biased though as I have a Gabriella.

She gets Gabi or Gigi (a play on her initials as her middle name begins with G)

Zazia · 25/06/2019 17:55

Both are fine. It's up to you which one you prefer.

Polkadotpolly · 25/06/2019 17:52

Don’t like either at all but Gabriella

gtigti · 25/06/2019 16:53

I prefer Gabrielle but hate the nickname Gabby

MikeUniformMike · 25/06/2019 15:10

Gabriella is nicer than Gabrielle.

NetballHoop · 25/06/2019 14:56

Gabriela with one l for me.

Sophronia · 25/06/2019 14:51

Gabriella

legolife · 25/06/2019 14:46

Gabriella for sure.

pinkgirlsxx · 25/06/2019 14:44

Gabriella, that's the name me and husband are calling our second daughter due November :) shortening to Gabby x

Fatkins · 25/06/2019 13:13

I like Gabrielle better.

How about;

Sylvie
Vivienne
Eloise
Josephine
Leonora

MrsBertBibby · 25/06/2019 13:03

Not keen on either.

How about Celia? Lovely and I don't see it used much.

Stickinicki · 25/06/2019 12:46

I think Gabriella sounds beautiful. I like it much better than Gabrielle. I think it's because it sounds more girly, so if you're not after that maybe Gabrielle would work better.

MrsScamander · 25/06/2019 12:32

Gabrielle, sounds more elegant and grown up. Kind of like Isabelle compared to Isabella.

mrsm43s · 25/06/2019 12:13

Gabriella.

Gabrielle sounds dated to me, and I generally prefer names with an -a on the end (Susanna over Suzanne, Julia over Julie, Joanna over Joanne etc).

That said, I'm not actually keen on either Gabriella or Gabrielle tbh.

AverageMummy · 25/06/2019 12:08

I’ve always loved the nickname Brie so makes no odds to me. I think maybe the elle ending feels less fussy

Owlbert · 25/06/2019 11:57

I prefer Gabriella, Gabrielle just reminds me of the 90s popstar although I'm sure I'd forget that quickly if I met a cute baby one!

MikeUniformMike · 25/06/2019 08:36

Not keen on either. Seem a bit 1970s.
