I also get all sorts of nicknames I could do without. It's Abigail Rose, so I guess that's okay. I'd rather I was named something else." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 05, 2008: "My name's Abigail, and it really bugs me when people say ab-EE-gail. Seriously. My friends call me odd variations of my name... I'm Abi, Abb, Abbs,etc. (I used to be Abidoodle, in grade 7). It's hard to get teachers to spell it right (or anyone, really). It's Abigale, or Abygayle, or Abbigale. I don't mind being called Abi, but my favourite nickname is Abb or Abbs. i think it's a pretty name... but my daughters will not have it. I love the names Madeline (from the pcture books and movie) and Ella (from ella enchanted, the book, not the movie)" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left May 14, 2008: "Hi.my Christian name is Abigail. My Father gave me the name and I am proud to bear it. It means "My Father rejoices over me." Close friends call me Abi. My husband calls me Gail, but he is the only one I allow to. When people ask me what my name is I say "Abigail." I don't know any other Abigails. It is not a common name in my age group. A lot of people I meet for the first time, or who are only acquainatances often call me Gabriel. I don't know why. I don't usually correct them. I just smile and wonder why it is a common error among so many people who do not know each other. If you are an Abigail, you are blessed with a beautiful name. I love my name because it was a gift from my Father." (Report as inappropriate)
