We already have a Gianna (Gigi) and when I was pregnant, we did not like the thought of calling her Gigi, we planned to call her Gia. Well she’s 8 months old and there hasn’t been a single day of her little life that she has ever been called Gia, she’s always been Gigi from day 1 😅 It’s not even something we discussed, it just came naturally once she was born.
Anyways, we like Gabriella for baby #2 but are not fond of the nickname Gabby and we don’t like the other nn alternatives -Ella, Bri, etc. but I’m thinking Gabby could grow on us like Gigi did. Do Gigi & Gabby sound good together?
Also PLEASE suggest any names that have BUILT IN nicknames 🤍

Love both and together is chefs kiss lol ! Love both full names and I think Ella and GiGi sound good maybe better than gabby and GiGi but if I have a girl Gabriella is a strong contender rn and I kinda love gabs ! Just as I love Jules for short nn for Juliana. Gianna is so pretty my friend has a Giana and Ariella .. GiGi and RiRi 💞

Same. I love the name & both together!

My sister is Gabrielle, she loves Gabby. I mostly call her Gab!

I know a Gabriella who is known as Bella

i feel pretty similar tbh - Gabriella is pretty, but not so keen on Gabby. might just be me, but it immediately makes me think "gobby". maybe Abbi as a nickname?

I like Gabriella with Ella or Briel as Nick names. Not a big fan of Gab or Gabby stand alone but also recognize once attached to a beautiful human it will be really sweet.

I think you could use Gal or Gala as possible short forms
