Gabrielle is beautiful! I love Gabrielle Rose. Classic and sweet.

Understanding the Context

I also love Gabrielle Victoria, Gabrielle Christina, Gabrielle Mae, Gabrielle Jane, Gabrielle Katherine, Gabrielle Francesca, Gabrielle Elizabeth, Gabrielle Cecilia, Gabrielle Bridget, Gabrielle Margaret, Gabrielle Claire/Clara, Gabrielle Maeve, and Gabrielle Fiona. I was wondering if any of you had considered using some of the older, more vintage nicknames for classic names even if they don't necessarily sound like the original. For example: Margaret nn Daisy Mary nn Molly or Polly Sarah nn Sally or Sadie Charlotte nn Lottie I think several of these are adorable but I'm curious to see what y'all think. Anna is the most beautiful, IMO.

Key Insights

Claire is my second choice. I dislike Molly. Unless you name her Margaret or something so she can have a more formal name for her resume. Report Reply ames71 member September 2011 My first pick would be Anna. Love.

Final Thoughts

DD's name is Lily Margaret (margaret is OH's mums name) Names I like: Girls Cora Ava Bethany Dakota MN would be Marie. Boys Zachary Noah Kaleb MN- Thomas (OH's name) or Stephen (my dads middle name and my brothers name) I dont mind whos family name is used as a middle name. Think my fav sibset is Lily and Zachary? Open to suggestions thou ... Margaret George School - okay, don't like the playground - the kids have to cross the parking lot to a playground covered in yuck from the trees above. For Kids Sake - Awesome people, great price, terrible facility.

Margaret is the only name I've ever heard that uses the NN Maggie. I'm a Megan and I've never had anyone call me Maggie before but I have heard stories. Both are family names for us. Other Mary names I've known and liked include: Mary Elizabeth (called Mary Beth, Mary Lib, or Mary Liza) Mary Winstead (Mary Win) Mary Stuart Mary Katherine (Mary Kate) Mary Brent Mary Ellis Mary Margaret Mary Hayden Mary Mitchell I personally really like the combo of Mary with a family surname.
