To me, yes

Gabriel = GAY-bree-el
Gabrielle = gah-BREE-el

---

In French, though, there's no difference.

Proud adopter of 15 punctuation marks; see my profile for their names.

I think in some places they are not (I know many Spanish and French speaking people say them the same). But here in the U.S., I've always seen Gabriel, for boys, as GAY-bree-uhl, and Gabrielle, for girls, as gab-ree-ELL. Oddly enough, I love Gabriel but dislike Gabrielle (though Gabriela is slightly better imo).

I pronounce them differently

In Sweden, Gabriel is pronounced as "GAH-bree-ell" and Gabrielle is pronounced as "Gah-bree-ELL". So the stress is put differently.

I pronounce Gabriel as GAY-bree-uhl and Gabrielle as ga-bree-ELL.

"Never make someone a priority, who only makes you an option."

I prn Gabriel with the emphasis on Gabe as in GABE-ree-uhl if that makes sense. Gabrielle is Gab as rhymes with drab and Gab-ree-elle. I don't know if I'm typing my phonetics correctly, but basically, I think there is a big difference, yes.

Gabriel is pronounced Gay-bree-el, whereas Gabrielle is pronounced Gab-bree-el.

The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.

In French, I believe they're pronounced relatively the same way. In Hebrew, Gavriel (boy form) and Gavriela (girl form) are pronounced the same way, except for the "A" in Gavriela. :)

In English, yes. Gabriel is GAY-bree-ehl and Gabrielle is gaa-bree-ELL. I love both.

Gabriel (gaye-bree-ell)
Gabrielle (gah-bree-ell)

Sort of the same, but not totally.
