It matters what you think, not a bunch of strangers who will comment that it’s “ethnic” (WTF) or froofy (I have a post graduate degree and have never hesrd that slang word ).
As for the risk of mispronunciation, no one is stupid enough to call her Mary Ella when names like Gabriella are common enough that they should know better- unless perhaps you will live in a rural, southern veering, predominantly non ethnic place.

My friend has a Mariella named for a dear friend who passed away. They call her "Millie" and I think it is adorable.

PP who knows the Mariella who gets her name mispronounced a lot. This is in DC at a Spanish immersion school. A lot of people are just kind of dumb about names.
