Gabrielle is the female form of Gabriel so it is really the same name.
But if the girl was named Gabrielle, she could at least have gone by Elle or Ellie.
In accordance with the sexist notions that male is good and strong, and female is weak and sissy, it will be the boy who suffers most.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
