My name is Gabrielle and I'm 25 years old. I HATED my name as a child, being the only Gabrielle in school until college. I began to LOVE my name as I got older, about 20/21...I felt like an adult, with an adult name. Friends call me Gab, Gabri, Gabby, Gabster, Gabiatrice (yea, they're crazy)and my favorite from my family is Gaby-Baby :)
