Thoughts? Are there many Gabriella’s? Or should I go with Lily?

I don't like it....the sound of "gab' is ugly to me...sorry OP. I always think of scab...or drab..

Lily is very overused.

Oh 😞

I love it, although slightly prefer Gabrielle.

RavenclawsRoar · 27/06/2021 10:09

I think it's lovely! I don't think it's overused- in fact, it's one of those names I'm surprised aren't more popular as it's very pretty. Lily is far more popular, although it is a lovely name too. I like both.

I love it. It’s a gorgeous name. Definitely use it

daisypond · 27/06/2021 10:11

It’s really nice. Strong but feminine. Go for it.

fartandsnap · 27/06/2021 10:12

The thing is no matter what name you choose there will always be someone who doesn’t like it! So it’s best to just go with what you like 😊.
Personally I think Gabriella is a lovely name and I also think Lily is very pretty too (although it is a popular name, if this bothers you).

RailingOnAndOn · 27/06/2021 10:13

It's lovely and I don't know any little ones.

Geamhradh · 27/06/2021 10:14

It's lovely. Much nicer than Lily of which there are billions.

Comedycook · 27/06/2021 10:16

Gabriella is lovely. I'd choose that over Lily. Lily is nice enough but so popular now which would put me off.

Cam2020 · 27/06/2021 10:17

I love it!

RaininSummer · 27/06/2021 10:23

I like it. Be prepared for Gabby as a nickname.

NotTheCatsWhiskers · 27/06/2021 10:36

Lily’s are everywhere! Gabriella is much more unusual.

Leftmyheartinthe90s · 27/06/2021 11:00

I’m thinking of Lily as the middle name perhaps?

Normandy144 · 27/06/2021 11:05

I like it. It's my daughter's middle name. It's very pretty I think.

CarrotCakeMuffins · 27/06/2021 11:08

Its a beautiful name and unusual especially compared to Lily which is very popular.

IndiaMay · 27/06/2021 11:12

Its nice, unusual without being out there (as in you know the name but rarely meet one). Lily is dull to me and there are so many

ApplesandBananas21 · 27/06/2021 11:15

I love it! Pretty name

CuntyChopps · 27/06/2021 11:19

It's a beautiful name

Ellmau · 27/06/2021 12:18

Lovely, and if you want to avoid too-popular Lily is not your alternative ;)

RoseMartha · 27/06/2021 12:18

I think it is unusual and pretty

MadeOfStarStuff · 27/06/2021 13:10

I love it, and I love Gabby as a nickname although it never seems popular on here.

I only know one and she’s about 20, it’s a lot less popular than Lily

I feel like Gabriella Lily may be too many Ls though

StillCalmX · 27/06/2021 13:13

i LIKE it but I don't love it. I agree that 'gab' is not a nice sound but the whole name Gabriella is nice.

I think Maggie has a similar vibe to both Lily and Gabby but prettier sound than Gabby

Cbeebiesrehab · 27/06/2021 13:13

Really like Gabriella but strongly dislike Gabby. That being said I like it more than Lily.

StillCalmX · 27/06/2021 13:15

What about Sally or Polly? Just as pretty as Lily but less popular. I misread, thought you had a Lily and Gabby was to be a sister to Lily

Love Sally and Polly, more than Lily
