So stuck! Confused

I think these are the final two GrinFlowers

That's just how you pronounce the name Confused and Gabriel is pronounced that way if you're any nationality other than English!

Naomi, definitely!

Gabriella. Beautiful name.

SirNiallDementia · 09/05/2017 21:29

Naomi is lovely. Gabriella too twee for me and the 2 I know are known as 'gabs' which sounds ugly!

Gabriella is beautiful. Although I strongly dislike Gabby and I'm not sure how avoidable it'll be - Ella is a much nicer shortening

Not keen on Naomi but that's just personal preference, there's nothing wrong with it. I knew a Naomi who never got any of the above shortnenubga, although was occasionally called Nay.

Lemondrop09 · 10/05/2017 08:51

Just realised Nay wasn't mentioned! I just meant she didn't get Nomes/Nomey

Naomi

Also like the french Noemi

I have a Gabriella. We never shortened her name when she was tiny but she now insists everyone calls her Gabby. Hmm

Both nice names. Well done.

Naomi. Gabriella will almost certainly be shortened to Gaby which sounds horrendous IMO.

My niece is Gabriella nn Gigi - love Naomi as well though, both beautiful. Can't go wrong!
