Middle name for Gabrielle
We are still searching for the right name. Our little girl is due any day now. Hubby and I love the name Gabrielle (nick name Elle or Ellie) but need some help with the middle name. Since the first and last names will have three syllables, I think the middle should be one syllable or a simple two syllable name. Gabrielle _________ Petersen.Thanks for your feedback.

I am not a fan of Gabrielle. I just don't find the whole "Gab" part attractive and I dislike the nn Gabby very much. However, I do love Elle, which you could still use the nn Ellie for. Elle can very much stand very nicely on it's own. In fact, I really like the sound of Elle Petersen. Even, your Earlier suggestion of Elise could have the nn Elle.No, Elle is not my real name but I wouldn't mind it all if it was. It's not popular, it's femimine but not frilly, and I just love the fact that it's French. I hope I have been of help in some way.For further assistance I came up with some middle names for the gorgeous Elle:Elle Katharine Petersen
Elle Antonia Petersen
Elle Julia Petersen
Elle Juliet Petersen
Elle Madeline Petersen
Elle Matilda Petersen
Elle Natalia Petersen
Elle Natalie Petersen
Elle Ophelia Petersen
Elle Suzanne Petersen
Elle Sofia Petersen - my favorite.
Elle Frances Petersen
Elle Francesca Petersen
Elle Amelia Petersen
Elle Genevieve Petersen
Elle Verity Petersen
Elle Serenity Petersen
Elle Savannah Petersen

Wow, thanks so much for the ideas, everyone! I see quite a few from your responses that might work (need to discuss them with hubby). But I am literally losing sleep over this (only because we want to have a name chosen BEFORE we go to the hospital.) Please keep your suggestions coming, thanks a bunch!

I LOVE the name Gabrielle.
My dd has two friends named Gabrielle
Gabrielle Elizabeth (a mouthful, but pretty) and Gabrielle Rose.If we were to use Gabrielle we'd go with Gabrielle Faith. Gabrielle Hope was also a contender at one time.I also like Gabrielle Amelia, and Gabrielle Olivia. Best wishes.
