I think every Gabriela I have known has gone by Gaby/Gabby.
Really? I think I’ve known a pretty even split of Gabby’s and Gabriella’s.

I've met several Gabrielas, and they've all gone by Gaby. And, they were all coworkers. Weird.
Yeah, all the Gabriellas and Gabrielles that I have known have got Gabby as a nickname, at least some of the time. One of my good friends is Gabriella and her mother didn't like Gabby and always called her 'Bels' as a nickname but she got Gabby at school and when I met her, she introduced herself as Gabriella and within a few hours she was asked if she minded Gabby and she said most people call her that and then she's been Gabby to me ever since.
