Gabriella is beautiful and more unusual. I prefer Gabrielle but both are nice.

userabcname · 03/11/2018 10:25

Gabriella but Olivia is pretty too.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 03/11/2018 10:27

Olivia

pomfloraalexander · 03/11/2018 10:28

Gabriella. Olivia is pretty but very popular.

Gabriella. Olivia is the most popular girls’ name throughout Britain and is no 3 in Northern Ireland.

Both are lovely. Think of the nicknames though - my sister went to school with a Gabriella, her parents couldn’t stand her being called “Gabby”. Similarly some people don’t like Liv/Livvy

EloisaJane · 03/11/2018 10:52

Gabriella, it's beautiful. Olivia is too popular.

L0lacabana · 03/11/2018 10:52

Olivia

LordPickle · 03/11/2018 10:57

Gabriella 😍

LeeMiller · 03/11/2018 11:14

Gabriella is lovely but long so make sure you like Gabby or think of an alternative nn.

SuperstarDJ · 03/11/2018 12:40

Gabriella. Olivia is very bland in comparison.

Shadow1234 · 03/11/2018 16:11

Olivia

Polkasq · 03/11/2018 17:36

Olivia is much nicer IMO.

Not keen on the harsh "gab" sound of Gabriella and it's slang for trivial chatter.

Polkasq · 03/11/2018 17:36

Octavia is a nice alternative to Olivia.

Didyeeaye · 03/11/2018 17:53

Much prefer Gabriella

Glumglowworm · 03/11/2018 18:30

Definitely Gabriella

I’ve never really liked Olivia, though obviously millions of people love it!

Lots on MN seem to not like Gabby but I do.

EthelHallowsBroomstick · 03/11/2018 18:33

Gabriella but not a fan of Gabby which seems to be the inevitable nickname.

CarrotCakeMuffins · 03/11/2018 18:38

Gabriella

cptartapp · 03/11/2018 18:47

Prefer Gabrielle, less flowery. Don't like Gabby as a nn though.

DramaAlpaca · 03/11/2018 18:49

Olivia.

I really dislike the 'gab' in Gabriella & the nickname Gabby.

nordlac · 03/11/2018 18:57

Gabriela

Pieceofpurplesky · 03/11/2018 19:07

Gabriella is beautiful. At school we have nns Gabby and Ella.

MsTSwift · 03/11/2018 22:41

Gabriella definitely Olivia nice but done to death

2128Cl · 03/11/2018 22:44

Olivia

Pompom42 · 03/11/2018 23:05

Olivia much too popular. I knew of 7 in my daughters year.
