I also love Gabriella and Gabrielle but not so much Gabby/Gabi. I don't have a huge aversion to this nickname but compared with the full name it's really not very attractive, and indeed quite difficult to avoid.
I'm sure I have many such names but here are some I can think of off the top of my head (I dislike the nicknames to varying degrees and I don't think they are always as inevitable as is the case with Gabby):
I love Adeline, Adelaide, Adele etc. but really dislike Ada and Addie. Same for Madeline vs Maddie.
I like Emily or Emmeline but not Em. I like Cordelia and Cornelia but not Corrie. I like Danielle and Daniel but not Danni/Danny or Dan. I like Gabriel but not Gabe (even more than Gabby). I like Michael but not Mike, and Raphael but not Rafe. I like Emmanuel but hate Manny. I like Jane but dislike Janie. I like Katherine but much less so Kate. I like Anna/Anne but not Nan or Annie. I like Felicity but not Lissy or Flick. I like Cecilia but not Cissy or Ceecee. I like Samuel but not Sam (I like Sam more for Samantha). I like Kevin but dislike Kev. I like lots of -lia names but not the nickname Lia.
