Kids don't get confused by being called multiple names. We called my little sister
Ruby,
Vesta, VesVes, Boo, and a million other things, and it never mixed her up--she knew (and knows) perfectly well that her name is
Ruby.
Gabriella is ten million times better than
Mackenzie, and
Gabby is a great nickname.
Bella, on the other hand, is the sound a bullfrog makes when it croaks--NOT attractive at all, IMO.
Gabriella nn
Gabby is my vote. I like
Gabriella Christine a lot.
