Comments for GABBY:

I love the name Gabby but there are so many ways to spell it such as Gaby, Gabie and more. I think it is the cutest name for a little girl and when she grew up it would still fit her. Overall I love that name!

The word gabby means "talkative."

It's cute, especially for a nickname. Gabby could be a nickname for Gabriela, Gabriella or Gabrielle. Gabby suits females more than males.

My name is Gabestellia. But since it is so long, Gabby is my nickname.

I hate the name/nickname Gabby. It sounds like a goose that won't stop talking.

There was a girl named "Gabrielle" in my school when I was growing up. She NEVER stopped TALKING, and it wasn't very nice things that she was saying most of the time. Which is why when we all found out (in fourth grade) that "Gabby" was a synonym for "talkative", she became forever "Gabby". Even the teachers called her that jokingly, because she'd interrupt class for ridiculous questions or to insult them, so it was as a semi-retort to her.

That's why I can't see this as a serious, or kind, full name for a child.

My name is Gabrielle and I just hate that name! It sounds way too sophisticated. Gabby however sounds like Gabrielle's polar opposite. It sounds so happy and cheerful and carefree. That's why I go by Gabby. And it sounds really British, too. I can imagine some English fellow saying "Ello Gubby! Lovely day today, isn't Gubby?"

I have to admit, Gabby sounds kinds cute when you hear a British person said 'Gubby'.

It's the sort of adjective sexist people, and this can and does often include women, use to describe women and girls who talk too much, or ''too much'' in their opinion anyway, as they rather prefer females to remain silent altogether. Not a nice thing to call your daughter. The name is very girly and immature, and guys named Gabriel should be called Gabe instead. The nickname sounds very ugly anyway.

Even though I love the name Gabriela, I hate this nickname!
