What do you think of the girls name Gabriella? AND favorite nickname to go with?!?

I don't think it's a very common name...you don't see it very often. My sister named her 2nd daughter Gabrielle and we all call her Gaby. Gaby would be my favorite nickname. I don't see Bella as a nickname. That is a totally different name and has nothing to do with the name Gabriella. Also, I would spell it "Elle". It looks a lot better.
