I get it. Gabrielle as a character name is less distinctive than Hermione, though, because it has been so popular and sounds like a lot of other names. Plus most people know a Gabrielle or two. Hermione doesn't sound like almost any other name, certainly not any popular one, and most people will immediately recognize that it has connection to the JKR character without it having to be explained.

edit: X is a very cool middle initial and Alyssa Xena is a little zazazizi heavy but is cool enough to be allowed to be a bit awkward, IMO
