My Name

Elise Gabrielle

My name is short for Elizabeth (like the one in the Bible) and means gift of God. My parents liked the name Elizabeth but wanted something original. A name that my dad wanted to name me was Prudence but my mom refused to have me named that. I'm glad she did because I hate that name. Gabrielle means the annunciator and is the female version of the name Gabriel, referencing the angel in the Bible. My parents believed strongly that their children should have names with meanings that go along with their values. I've always wanted to change my name to Isabella even before the story 'Twilight' came out. I always thought it was a pretty name and I had a Baby Isabelle doll when I was little.
