Gabrielle

Joanna means "Gift of God" in french.

Gabrielle means "Woman of God" in french.

I hope this helps you, Joanna!

This is my name too. I use to think Gabriella was more of a prettier form (Im of Italian/French heritage), but have grown to love and appreciate my name as I get older.

i love this name and it is my name of coarse gabrielle and i think every one should use this name not a very common name but very very beautiful and for short its gabby

I named my daughter Gabrielle Alexandrina. Everyone is so right about people misprouncing this name. I hear people say "Gabriel" (boy verision) and "Gabriella"..which is ok but if I wanted people to call her Gabriella, I would have named her Gabriella. I used to hate the name Gaby, but I call her that now and think its very cute for a little baby. She is 11 months. The name Gabrielle is so classy and unique...I'm so glad I chose this name. I hope it doesn't give her a hard time when hardly anyone gets the name right at first.

Yes. My name is Gabrielle. Yes I do have some hard times with the name but I think Im getting over it.

Jessily!! For your question about a middle name that does good with Gabrielle, try Alexis. Its mine!

We are going to call our daughter Gabrielle Renee. I love Archangel Gabriel and the second name is her great grand mothers and it flows rather nicely.
Blessings to all the moms out there!

Funny my full name is Gabrielle Alexandra, and people call me Gabriel and Gabriella too... weird. lol. I love my name, though I go by Gabby most of the time, because that's what people have called me since I was little. :]

I love this name. I actually heard the name Gabriella from High School Musical and wanted to name my daughter that, but my hubby liked Gabrielle better and now I do too.. I love my little Gaby!!

This is the name I suggested to my sister for her 2nd daughter. Sounds cool when people call my niece Gaby.. always mistook her as a boy but when they see her she's actually a very pretty young lady.
