Of course there is compromise involved with one's partner. lol :b
But we don't know you, and it's great to come and ask people's opinions but take them all with a grain of salt. Just because WE don't love a name doesn't mean you shouldn't use it. I like
Gabriella, but it's not a favorite. Though I like just
Ella, and I think it's a cute nn for
Gabriella (or
Ellie), but
Gabby is cute too. And I do like Gabriella/Gabriela better than
Gabrielle, for some reason. However, it's YOUR baby and I hope you'll go with your heart. If that means she'll be named
Mackenzie, then so be it! It's not a sin to have a daughter named
Mackenzie (even though you might think so if you hang around here enough, LOL!...btw, no I don't like the name
Mackenzie, but again--It's not my baby! :P).
Good luck, whatever you decide. :)
