[Opinions] Re: Gabriella
in reply to a message by Arabella *
Gabriella Alessandra / Alexandra feels altogether much too long and fancified for my tastes. I'd prefer Gabriella with something that doesn't make her sound like a four year old playing dress up.
I do like the name Gabriella (especially with the nn Gabi; I still don't understand why everyone's so utterly against it, hehe), but I prefer it with a more temperate middle name.
With that in mind, I wouldn't be adverse to:
Gabriella Susan Nicole
Gabriella Penelope Rose (Penelope's earthiness makes up for its length)
Gabriella Daphne Celeste (I think this is really attractive without feeling so over the top)
Gabriella Candace Renee
Gabriella Chloe Giselle
But keeping in mind what you want, perhaps these would be to your tastes:
Gabriella Cordelia Juliet
Gabriella Savannah Gwendolyn
Gabriella Seraphina Jade
Gabriella Anastacia Destiny
Gabriella Ophelia Violet
Gabriella Adora Catherine
Gabriella Aurelia Calanthe
Gabriella Victoria Jasmine
Gabriella Liliana Anneliese
Gabriella Cecilia Christelle
Gabriella Adelina Scarlett
Nothing wrong with those names alone, mind; it's just that together, they don't even sound real to me. They sound like playing dress up, and that makes them feel as childish to me as McKailee Alyvya.

O come, all ye Grateful
Deadheads to the concert.
O come, Grateful Deadheads,
And camp in the street.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
