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.

Salam. Gabrielle is not an acceptable name for a baby girl and it is not an islamic name..It is beter if you name your baby girl such as Zahra means flower,Nadhira means warning's giver,Hanifaa means good/beauty,Nabilla ,Zainab,Fatima,Hadija,Maryam,etc

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?

why can't people find something unique and different from everyone else to call their child?
