Hate the nickname Gabby. It is really tacky.

I love this name, it's been my favorite for as long as I can remember.

This is a beautiful name for a girl. Very feminine and strong and not extremely common either. While I'm not crazy about the nickname Gabby, this name presents another pretty alternative, Ella.

I absolutely love this name, Italian names are the best, all of them are so beautiful. This is the name of my friend by the way.

I much prefer Abriella. I hate the nickname Gabby. Abby, however, isn't that bad. You can also play with this name. Aubriella, Ambriella, etc. I like to stick to A's, but you get the point. Brielle is such a beautiful flowing name that sounds great with almost any combination.

This is one of my favorite names! It is very beautiful and graceful. If I had a daughter, her name would be Gabriella. The nickname Gabby is better as Gabi. It is not that tacky.

Love the name, would use Gabby as a nickname, too.

Much better than Gabrielle, in my opinion. I would never use Gabby as a nickname, it's tacky (as said above). I would probably use the nicknames Brie (pronounced: BREE) or Ella.

I LOVE this name! It is my favorite name EVER! But in my opinion, I actually DO like the nickname Gabby.

I hate this name, it's too girly, and too icky!

My sister's name is Gabriella. We resort to calling her Gab (I don't like Gabby either).
-- jjbunny  1/20/2007
It's pretty, but a mouthful.

This is my name (obviously) and I love it. It's classic but not common and I never had to go by "Gabriella H" or "the Asian Gabriella" in school. I go by Gabbi, usually. I absolutely HATE Ella, mainly because it reminds me of fat annoying girls.

There's a Gabriella Montez on High School Musical, played by Vanessa Anne Hudgens.
-- CharlieRob  8/20/2007
I love my name because it's classic, has a ton of nickname possibilities and it's relatively uncommon (though it's climbing ugh). I go by Gabbi. Sorry if you think it's tacky. ^_^
-- Gabriella  9/29/2007
Gabriella is a great name and I love this spelling.
-- annie0302  1/2/2008
Gorgeous name! I love Gabriella Montez! Now, whenever I hear this name, I think of a young, beautiful shy Spanish girl with warm heart!

I used to like this name, but after High School Musical, I can't stand it.
-- jasmineenimsaj  1/17/2008
UGH. This name was NOT popular until those High School Musical movies. I can't stand them, and neither can my kids, so they don't watch them, but I still don't like this name. I especially don't like "Gabby". This name is too long for a kid to have to write. I wouldn't name my kid Gabriella, it sounds too little kidish. But my son did name our cat Gabriella.

Rising singing sensation, Gabriella Cilmi.
-- i-heart-me  5/13/2008
Absolutely gorgeous and upper class. I'm using this as a middle name for my first little daughter. :)
-- diamond  5/20/2008
I like this name, and Gabriella Cilmi has made me LOVE this name!

On paper, I tend to hate this name. But yesterday, I met someone named this, and I couldn't get over how pretty the name is in person.
-- Emmasj  7/31/2008
Nicknames: Gába, Gabby, Gábika, Gábina, Briella.
-- Emilie007  8/31/2008
I think this is a beautiful name, but I don't like the nickname Gabby. It sounds like someone who talks too much.
-- KayeKiLa  9/14/2008
In Italy Gabriella was typical of the 1940s. It was the 3th most popular name in Rome in 1941 (behind Annamaria and Anna, with the double name Maria Gabriella 25th) and the 7th in 1946. Today it doesn't sound totally old, but it's not even popular. I guess most Italians could hardly believe it's being so fashionable in English-speaking countries!

The Italian pronunciation is gah-BRRYELL-lah.
-- presentperfect  12/19/2008
I think people who are named Gabriella should go by Briella, Ella, Elle, Brielle. Anything but Gabby. It's an insult.

I like the spelling Gabriela better. It's a really pretty name though, and my fave nickname for it is Brie or Brielle. :)
