We are trying to decide on some names for our daughter or son and I am finding it very hard. Would Gabrielle be an acceptable name of a baby girl?

    I like the name Isabella more, pronounced with the S sound not the Z

    Gabrielle is my cousin's son name... I didn't know girls could be named the same also.

    It's not that bad though. However I don't like how Gabe sounds (short for Gabrielle/a) ... lol

    Gabriella?? It easily defines if she is a girl. If you end up with a boy you can name it Gabriel, or for short, Gabe, i know a Gabe, so your child's name wont stand out as much if you name him just Gabe.

    It goes both ways. I think it is a boys name but there are lots of girls named Gabriella. Congrats on the baby! How exciting.

    Gabriella doesn't sound like a muslim name. How would she be recognized?

    And as far as I recall, giving feminine representations to angels, is a pagan thing, is it not?
