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

As is Gabriella.

Gabriella and Lilly, both lovely names- together is a bit of a tongue twister!
Lilly Gabriella may be easier?🌸

@Leftmyheartinthe90s

Is Gabi, Gaby or Gabby the nicest if it gets shortened at school by friends etc?
Gabz for the one in DD1's class (sorry!)

I have to say it's a name I really dislike - but that's because it's tarred by the association with the aforementioned child who is a bit of a nasty bully, with siblings who are also nasty bullies and who has DD as her target to the point we're trying to move schools.

Gabriella is lovely (i think its a lot nicer than Gabrielle) I only know of one, who is about 7 I think.
I'm not a massive fan of Lily, and there are lots more of them about. I think both names together don't flow very well (too many L's)

Gabriella Lilly is a really pretty name - I really like it! Just not to keen on Gabby as a nn.

35andThriving · 01/07/2021 16:41

I like it. Smile

I prefer Gabrielle, I find Gabrielle a bit if a mouthful.

Only known one Gabriella in real life - I taught her, I thought then how beautiful and unusual her name was, and nobody seemed to shorten it!

It's quite 80s and I'm not fond of Gabby/Gabs. It's a bit like Gobby.

But Ella is ok if over-used.

The name I would have used for a daughter

Agree with others that Gabrielle is nicer, and goes with Lily better.

Also Belle as a nn is really sweet.
