First thing I think of when I head the name Giselle is how much I hate Tom Brady.
It's a beautiful name. If you raise a strong and confident child capable of thinking for him/herself, nicknames won't happen. If you pick a name that doesn't lend itself to nicknames, then if your child is being picked on the bullies will choose something else to make a nickname out of. I think it's unreasonable to not pick a good name based on potential ways it could be shortened.
The exception being when your last name makes a mess out of a first name. Mike Hunt for example. And also never name your kid Seymour. Ever.
ETA: If you and your husband's genes are involved and you do have a girl, she's not going to have any problems no matter what her name is.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
