Gabriella?

[Leftmyheartinthe90s]

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

Prefer Gabrielle.
Gabriella doesn't sound as classy to my ears and I think umbrella too.
Gabrielle Lily would be my choice.

My next door neighbour daughter is called Gabriella, it's nice enough but always seems like a right mouthful when she's shouting her in for dinner or whatever. But the shortening of Gabby isn't very nice either...

Is Gabi, Gaby or Gabby the nicest if it gets shortened at school by friends etc?

I really like Gabriella but not shortened though. Would Gabriella Lilly be a mouth full? So many L's

In Italy it would be Gabri.

I like it. Gabriella Lily is a lovely combination too.

I like all of it's shortenings. Gaby is obviously the most usual of those, but I also know of a young Gabriella who shortens hers to Bella. Not a classic shortening, but nice and not too much of a stretch.

Great name!

I prefer Ella. Or Lily.

My niece is Gabriella but her nickname is Gigi. It’s a beautiful name, definitely better than Lily!

Love Gabriella, or gabrielle but not gabriella lily, way too many L's. I actually don't mind gabby as a nickname

Its lovely.

I know three Gabbis and only one Lily. I’ve never taught a Gabrielle/Gabriella who doesn’t abbreviate to Gabi/Gabby etc, which is less pretty.

I have a Gabriella. We do nickname her Gabby a fair bit, but I like it and I prefer that to Ella as a shortening. She’s almost two and we haven’t met any others so far. She is the youngest of 3 (two older brothers) and I haven’t encountered it amongst my sons’ peers either.

I adore this name. Classical, underused, elegant. Also love the nns Gabby, Brie and Ella.

I'm adding this to my list OP!

Not that I'm expecting but a girl can dream ;)

I love it.
One of my faves.
Also love Gabrielle

Love it!

Lovely

Beautiful name. Gabi is nicest in my opinion.

I love it and also like Gabby as a nn.

Gab is so ugly. Gabby. Ugh.

@EishetChayil I didn’t say Gab

I like it. Prefer with one L perhaps? Lily as middle name doesnt flow because it begins with L, you get la li ly.

It’s a fantastic name. Strong and feminine at the same time.

Relatively unusual but yet a very known name that everyone knows how to pronounce.

Gabriella is 137th in the ONS name charts btw (and Gabrielle 513th).

Lily is 9th.

Gabrielle is beautiful.
