sorry didn't read the full message: I like Gianna Brie best of those options

I had brainstormed Gianna Lou casually a few months ago and I still stand by it even if it is a little bit cutesy. I also like Gianna Louise, Gianna Leanne, Gianna Lucille, Gianna Lynette, Gianna Leona, Gianna Liatris, Gianna Larisse, Gianna Laureen, Gianna Lior, Gianna Lisette

These are the two most popular names for girls at my school. They’re both good names and they’re equal in my eyes.

Gianna is alright, but to me it reads read as unfinished - less of a nickname than a name in its own right.

I have no problem with Natalie by itself though it has been overused, I think. It now seems to be slipping past its peak, which is good except for the fact that it could come to be seen as a dated trend name. I think it's classic enough to avoid that fate.

As middle names, Brie and Brielle are both non-starters for me. Brie is a cheese. It's fine as a nickname, but not a given name. (I feel only slightly less harshly about Bree.) I have never understood Brielle as a name, frankly. I think it's unattractive and doesn't really do much to shorten its parent name. So combos here are definitely not my kind of names, because I detest both middle names.
