[Opinions] Why in the world would that be a problem?
The name is not, and never has been, unique to Hispanics or Indians. I can understand being a bit leery of naming a child something that screams a completely different ethnicity, but I find this question ridiculous.In all honesty, I don't see what the dilemma is at all for you. You call the baby Gabriella. Everyone else calls the baby Gabriella. You like the name Gabriella. Why don't you just use it and be done with it?Array
