I think it's pretty, I don't think it's silly at all.
In regards to the G surname... I'm not sure, I think it depends on the individual surname and how they sound together, but as a general rule I'm not a fan of alliterative (sur)names.

It's been getting used for a while now. It's not sillier than Piper or Everly or Nova or Wrenley, IMO. It is a little silly, though.
It's too long and sing-songy, and too synthetic, to be appealing to me.
I feel like Galilea would never have been a thing if not for Bohemian Rhapsody. I think that's why I find it irritating. I feel like that earworm makes me want to cry Galilea as "galley lay uh!" instead of like normal. The normal prn is sort of mumbly in my accent ... gal'l lay uh.
I think a G surname would be fine, as long as there aren't any more Ls in the name.

I think it's quite pretty, and not silly-sounding. Maybe a bit strange in an Anglophone setting, but not silly.
For the second question, it really depends on the G surname. If it's on the longer side, or is Italian, I think it might sound too similar to Galileo Galilei, but if it's short and non-Italian (say, Galileo Greer), I think that's okay. Obviously, that wouldn't apply if the kid were in Italy - I wouldn't know what the associations would be there.
