Love Briella. Frilly, but not too frilly. You could go with Brielle to cut down on the frill or Icut out the "ee" and "a" combo of Briella and try Janella or Shanella and it won't sound as frilly. But it really is lovely as it is.

Briella is nice, but nms.

Hey, don't say my name's common! How about Mariella or Rafaella?
Briella's a cool name but it's a bit girly. Sorry, that sounds daft coming from an Isabella, but hey I'm a tomboy!

I prefer Gabriella with Briella as a nickname. On its own, Briella is too nickname-y and immature sounding to me. Plus, I just don't like nicknames as formal names.

---

I'm not really keen on Briella. I guess it's because I associate it to other "Bri-" names like Britney, Bree and Breanna, which I don't like because they're so trendy and overused. I don't find it pretty at all.

I prefer Briallen over Briella (obviously lol). Briella... yah, I think it is too frilly.

---

What about the beautiful and simple Bella?

---

There's also Estella and Mariella and... I can't think of anymore lol, except ugly names like Prunella or Barbarella.

Yes, I find Briella too frilly, but more than that it just seems modern and trendy, and like it's missing the Ga- in the front. I really, really dislike it. I love Ella on its own, but most -ella names are a bit too frilly for my personal tastes. But here are a few that are nice:
Della :b
Estella / Stella
Finella
Mariella
Mirabella
Nella
Rosella
Sybella

Good luck!

I like it only as a nn for Gabriella. It sounds incomplete and nny as a full fn to me.

---

Also, Gabriella offers your child at least two more name options to go by (Gabriella and Gabby) than a Briella has (Briella, Brie, Ella, and Elle).
