Gabriella or Grace?

Hello!

We have a beautiful baby girl, who was born this morning. Absolutely love her to pieces...

We kept 2 names, at the front of our minds, hoping 1 would jump out/feel right (now she is here) but it hasn't... I would like it decided (preferably today) Smile

We love both names - that's the problem! Her older brothers don't like either Grin oh well!

Middle name will be Madeleine...

Congratulations!! I love Grace. More popular but lovely... Ah. Enjoy the newborn snuggles and hope you recover well and get some sleep. (Hard with two older ones, I know...)

shirking - thank you! Definitely tough (I have 3 boys) but luckily they're staying with DM and DF Smile

Wow! How lovely - hard work but great. Good luck! xx

BoboBunnyH0p · 26/05/2016 19:39

Congratulations. I vote Gabriella more unusual and a couple of nn choices.

100% Gabriella over Grace.

Big congrats!

EllenDegenerate · 26/05/2016 21:51

Gabriella, Definitely.

Gabriella- bloody autocorrect

DramaAlpaca · 26/05/2016 21:54

Congratulations! Flowers

Another vote for Gabriella from me.

PrincessPlod · 26/05/2016 22:21

Gabrielle as Grace is very popular

Puppymouse · 26/05/2016 22:25

Vote for Grace here. But I'm biased Wink

Think there's one other - mine has her initial on nursery missives but never actually met another in nearly three years. Get lots of compliments when people as her name. Gabriella also lovely though.

OneMagnumisneverenough · 26/05/2016 22:25

Photo or it never happened.... :o

Gabriella/Gabrielle for me. I used to love the names Grace but I've gone of it since I've seen a few children with it where it really wasn't appropriate...if you get what I mean.

Normandy144 · 26/05/2016 22:32

Gabriella. Also a little biased as it is my DD's middle name. Gabriella Grace actually has a good ring to it if you aren't 100% settled on Madeleine for a middle name.

TrinityForce · 26/05/2016 22:34

They're both absolutely lovely, congratulations!

Gabriella would give her more nickname options, but Grace is also perfectly beautiful.

Congratulations again

Sophronia · 27/05/2016 00:02

Grace Madeleine is lovely

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 27/05/2016 00:07

I agree that Gabriella Grace sounds lovely together.

joyfulworld · 30/05/2016 07:34

Congratulations! Love Grace. :)

BikeRunSki · 30/05/2016 07:39

Gabriella definitely!!!

Grace is very common, and much hated by a friend of ours who is not at all graceful!
