Name Question
We are trying to decide between 2 names:
Gabrielle Reese
Or
Olivia Reese
We love both but Gabrielle Reese is a famous volleyball player. Is that weird? Did you think that when you read it? My other issue with Gabrielle is that we want the name to be a surprise. My entire family is convinced the name is Gabrielle so part of me wants to choose Olivia so it can be a true surprise...although I might like Gabrielle more.
Thoughts???

I had no clue about the volleyball player. I love the name Olivia but I think Gabrielle Reese sounds prettier. You'll forget about the surprise years down the line, don't make your choice based on that.

I'm partial to Olivia since it was on my favorites list. I have no idea who Gabrielle Reese is so I wouldn't worry about that.

I love that too but my dad already made it known that he hates it and while I don't care, I know it will bother me if I know people hate it. This is why we decided to keep it a "surprise" (aka we don't want your opinion!)

I completely thought of the volleyball player and she is a model so she's def well known.
I'm not a fan of the Reese part.

I think both names are gorgeous. I know who you're talking about, but I don't think she's too well known, and regardless, it's a positive association. She's an athlete, ya know? Not a reality tv chic.
You can't go wrong with either name but I do like Gabrielle a touch better. I adore the nickname Gabby. Don't worry about surprising them, make the choice for you!

Re: Name Question
Totally thought of the volleyball player, but I don't think that's a reason to not choose a name you love. It's not like she's a trash celebrity, she's an insanely talented athlete.
They're both pretty names, can't go wrong. Olivia is a bit too popular for me, I can think of 4 girls I know names Olivia between the ages of newborn and 4, so I'd personally go with Gabrielle
