Gabriel "Gabe" Shane
Rafael "Rafi" Brett

I like both boys' first names, but not the middles, though they work together. I'm fine with Ella Sofie, but would possibly prefer Ella Sofia.
Very el-heavy.I don't see the point of using a show-off spelling of Sophie as a mn where it won't be noticed. And Ella is just another trendy name, though the boy names are themed. OK, there's a shortage of girl angels, but anything biblical would do. Rachael Sophie?Gabriel is excellent; Gabe is suitable for a middle-aged, podgy truck driver. And the assonance of Gabriel Shane doesn't work well for me. I'd do a swap: Gabriel Brett and Raphael (or Rafael) Shane.
I like the boys' names, especially Gabriel Shane, but I'm not a fan of Ella Sofie.
I think they are ok
Eleanora, Gabriel and Rafael, aka Ella, Gabe and Rafi would be nice, although the "el" theme really jumps out at me.Gabriel Shane is great, handsome like a romance novel cover boy.
Ella seems like it should be something like Ariella, Arabella, Isabella, Emanuela, Annabel. Because it sticks out to me that the boys both have elaborate el names while the girl got a nickname version of those - seems uneven.Other than that, it's fine. A bit matchy but whatever.

I understand where you're coming from. What about using Gabe and Rafi as nicknames compared to Ella?
They don't compare unless they're all NNs. They'd seem fine/normal that way. (I do tend to like el names, particularly Raphael "Rafi".)

They are fine but I prefer Ella Sofia and Brett Rafael for better cadence. Gabriel Shane is fine as it is.
There are a lot of repetitive "el" sounds in the sibling names. I LOVE Gabriel, like Raphael (prefer the "ph" spelling to the Spanish "f") and dislike Ella.Favourite combo: Gabriel Shane. Runner up is Ella Sofie.

It's alright. It's not really my thing, but I think the names go well together.
Ella and Gabriel sound like brother and sister. Raphael does not.
I don't like any of the names individually either.
