  1. Garbiella is elegant and bright. It’s familiarbut not but not overused

  2. I’ve known three Gabriellas. One went by [name_u]Gabby[/name_u], one one went interchangeably between [name_u]Gabby[/name_u] and [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], and one went by [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] exclusively

  3. I don’t think it would be automatic but i think people would hear it and think it makes sense

  4. Gabrielle is sweet but I prefer [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]

  5. I think it could still work

  6. My favourite nickname for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] would be either [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_f]Brielle[/name_f]

1. What is your opinion on the name [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]?
It’s not personally my favorite name, but I like the ending.

2. What do you think is the likelihood that someone named [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] would be called by their full name most of the time?
I know numerous [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]’s, and some went by [name_u]Gabby[/name_u]/Gabi, while others went by just [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]. I believe most people would call them [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] unless stated otherwise, so it seems likely that [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] would be called by her full name if she wishes.

3. Would the nickname [name_f]Bria[/name_f] be a natural nickname for [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]?
It’s not as intuitive, but I don’t believe it would be hard for someone to adjust to [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] “[name_f]Bria[/name_f]”

4. What is your opinion on the name [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] (no A at end)?
[name_f]My[/name_f] childhood best friend was named [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and I have negative associations with my friend now and it’s a bit hard to ignore them. I do like the ending “elle” part though.

5. Would it be too much of a stretch for the nickname [name_f]Bria[/name_f] to be short for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] (no A at end).
A tiny bit of a stretch, but still works just fine.

6. What is your favorite nickname for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]?
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite nickname for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] is just [name_f]Elle[/name_f].

  1. I think [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] is beautiful and elegant.
  2. I know a [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], and she goes by her full name. Most [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]/Gabriella’s I encounter go by [name_u]Gabby[/name_u], though. Despite this, I dont think a nickname is necessary.
  3. Totally, and [name_f]Bria[/name_f] is super fun and cute!
  4. Similar as [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], but I like [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] better.
  5. It still works.
  6. I like the full name on its own best, but I like [name_f]Bree[/name_f] and [name_f]Bria[/name_f].

Gabby or [name_u]Abby[/name_u] is my favorite nickname for [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]/e. [name_f]Bria[/name_f] works.

  1. It’s a bit dated, not my personal style, and reminds me of the High School Musical character but it’s not a bad name

  2. Pretty low, tbh, since [name_u]Gabby[/name_u] is such an easy and well-known nickname

  3. It works

  4. Definitely feels dated, and I’m less of a fan

  5. No

  6. Brielle, which I much prefer as a full name over both of these

  1. [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] is a very pretty name and it’s not common (at my school).
  2. [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] could be called by her full name fine since I’ve met some people that have long names and get called by them fine. A girl at my school named [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]/a goes by [name_u]Gabby[/name_u].
  3. It would not be a “natural nickname” but she could be called that since you can clearly see where you get it from.
  4. [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] is pretty as [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] is but seem’s a little more prim(ish) to me personally.
  5. It would be because you can’t see it as clearly as you can [name_f]Bria[/name_f]-[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f].
  6. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favorite nickname for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] is [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] because it’s part of the name but not every [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] is called that like [name_u]Gabby[/name_u].

  1. I like [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s four syllables, it somehow still seems fairly uncomplicated. It’s beautiful and has warm, fun vibes.

  2. I know an adult with this name who introduces herself as [name_u]Gabby[/name_u], so that’s what we call her. I knew a two year old with the name and she was always [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] as that’s how her parents introduced her and how they always referred to her.

  3. I haven’t heard as [name_u]Briar[/name_u] as a nn for [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] so I don’t find it intuitive but it’s definitely plausible!

  4. I have a slight preference for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] as I find it more elegent and [name_u]French[/name_u] names like [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] are my thing (or one of my things)!

  5. Not too much of a stretch, no.

  6. Elle would be my favourite, followed by [name_f]Brielle[/name_f], due to previously stated penchant for [name_u]French[/name_u] vibes!

I’m a [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and I’ve managed to avoid the [name_u]Gabby[/name_u] nickname most of my life (people do try though). [name_f]My[/name_f] family call me [name_m]Gab[/name_m] and my friends call me [name_f]Elle[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Bria[/name_f] is a bit of a stretch but [name_f]Bree[/name_f] might be more intuitive? [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] very naturally lends to the nickname [name_f]Ella[/name_f] as well. I like the look of [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] better, but I also like it when people call me [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], feels very European haha.
