Personal experiences with the name Gabriella: | Edit

I allowed my then 9 year old daughter name her sister, when she decided on "Gabriella" I knew that was the name. My "Gella" is loving, Whimsical, Intelligent and beautiful with gorgeous eyes and hair.

One of my best friends is named Gabriella and I absolutely love her name. It fits her perfectly. It is elegent, goddess-like, beautiful and sophisticated. However, a lot of people automatically call her Gabby, which we both really hate. I think Gabby takes out all of the beauty and grace out of such a lovely name.
