Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! That's fantastic.

I don't like Ella unless it's a full name, as a nickname it's silly. Pip is babyish.

I like both names, but Gabriella feels a little frilly next to Philippa. I'd like Gabrielle with Philippa more. Gabrielle is less beribboned than Gabriella and a little more sleek and sophisticated.

Pip and Ella reminds me of Pip & Emma, sisters from Agatha Christie's A Murder is Announced. I played Pip in a theatrical version of the same, though, so I imagine most people won't make the same conneciton. Pip Emma is also an old-fashioned (~WWII) way of saying "P.M." /tangent

What I'm trying to say is I'm not crazy about Pip & Ella.

Pip and Ella are cute. Pip has so much personality!
I really like Philippa. I'm not sure if I like the sibset. It works in theory, but I'm wanting to change Gabriella to something just a little less popular and more "springy" to go with Philippa. Something closer to Ginevra, perhaps.

I love the name Gabriella, and it's nn Ella, but I think I like the nn Gabby better.

Allyssa and Gabriella

Alexandra and Gabriella
