Abby meaning

I love my name but i HATE it when people call me Abigail! But i lvoe the name Abby

My names Abby!! And i've met a lot of Abby's in my life!

My name is also Abby, not Abigail, though It's hard for people to beli've that. I have had to pull out my birth certificate or driver's license to prove it a time or two. People do spell it wrong all the time. And there are a ton of nicknames that come with it. I get the Abs and Ab nicknames like everyone else. Siden'te: Nothing good rhymes with Abby. i've been called Crabby Abby, Flabby Abby, Scabby Abby, Blabby Abby, etc. BUT, all that'said, I love my name. It's refreshing to see more "just Abby, not Abigail's" around. Though my mom didn't want me to have the long version of my name, she does call me Abigail every once in a while. My name is Abby Marie and there are a handful of people who only call me Abigail Maria. Nicknames can be fun though. I'm 29 and when I was younger almost no one was named Abby. It's become a lot more popular recently. Sesame Street probably helps that. Anyway, It's a great name! :)

my name is abby (not abigail) i dont want to be called abigail cause (no offence) but i hate that name. id rather be called abby and people spell it wrong and it looks too girly spelt abbie. and im 12 years old

My daughter's name is Abilene, but we call her Abbie. She is named after a small town in Kansas, not the Town in Texas :)

I'm and abby, not short for anything! i love it cause its not a common spelling and i've never personaly met an abby spealt like that without it being short for abigail :)

My name is Abby, and just like the othaer people on, everyone thinks its short for Abigail. But i dont ind, its starts off conversations! Also, everone spells it either Abbey, Abbie or Abi, but im sayin its A-B-B-Y! Thnx x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

I love this name. I too want to name my daughter Abby.

My name is Abby. Sometimes other people will have the'same name as me, and if someone is talking to them, I'mistaken'them for me. I live in Kentucky, and the way I pronounce it is Ab-bee. Sometimes people spell my name wrong, but it is very rare when someone, other than friends, family members, or teache's, get it right.

I am pleased to say that my name is Abby...however, there is a small problem. No one knows how to spell it. The amount of times i've had cards saying Abbey, Abi, Abbie...etc Other than that though, its cool.

heyy , my name is abby c too! haha , one of the first questions i get asked about my name is if that is my real name. and yes, it is. my parents decided not too call me Abigail, cause they liked just Abby better. And no one every knows how to spell it. But I love my name .. I am the only Abby in my school and its been'that way for as long as Ive been alive, and Im in grade 10. So, i <3 abbys

my name is abby and may people spell it abbey it anoyes me .My beat friend her nam=e is abbie. it is fun having a friend with the'sane name because we have times where we will call it an abby/ abbie moment.

My name is Abigail, and everyone calls me Abby. Not that many people around me have it, so it is not over'sed at all. I love the name, it is short and sweet!

my name is Abby. It isnt short for Abigail as some people think. I love my name its easy to spell.

My name is Abigail, but everyone calls me Abby! I love it! I like my close friends to call me Abby, and people I don't really know that well to call me Abigail, Abby just feels more close! My best friends sometimes call me Ab and sometimes even Abster! lol!

I luv this name. Abigail! I having a baby girl and this could be her name.

My name is Abby which is NOT short for abi-gail which people think it is I love the name Abby and would not swap it for the world

I'm Abbi! I really like my name. I also like that it is spelled with an "i" at the end. People also call me "Ab" for short, even'though It's already shortened from Abigail. I am def and Abbi :o) fits my personality, or should I say I grew into the "Abbi" lol

My Best friend's name is Abby, a.k.a My bro's girlfriend. I am a girl (and so does my bro) and i approve this message!

Hey my name is Abby Rose and I love my name. My parents are Beatles fans so they wanted to name me after their favorite album, "Abbey Road". People always call me Abigail assuming that is my real name, but the padres decided to keep it just Abby.

I love my name! Some people spell it wrong but otherwise everyone else gets it right. I know a ton of abby's so I think that it is pretty popular!

Im another abby! People call me Abigal but my actual name is ABBY, not anything else. I would like to change the'spelling though, to Abbie. I feel like it looks more cute. anyways, go tweens and people named Abby!! p.s. people also call me abbster. Annoying!!

My name is Abby! not Abigail just Abby. i personally love my name its unique and i dont no anymore Abby's that arent originally Abigail! my nick name is Abs and i love that too! i dont really like the name Abigail and to be honest i never have and i dont like any of the other'spellings of Abby.

I like my name because my parents gave it to me, but it drives me crazy when people call me Abigail! Abby is short and sweet, and I like it better then Abigail. Most of my nicknames in life have been associated with my real name, Abby. Names such as: Ab-Master, Abbilicious, and Fabs.

My name is Abby. It's not Abigail and Abby for short as some people think. I HATE being called Abigail. My old teacher used to tease me about it. Everyone thinks It's cute but when I write it out I hate it. It is a boys and girls name, so because my hair is cut like a boys I get called a boy a lot. All in all I hate the name. It doesn't suit me, but a lot of people it does suit.

My 5 week old daughters name is Abby. Not Abigail, just Abby. We actually combined our mothe's names (Amy and Debbie) to make Abby and her middle name is Dee-Anne, our grandmothe's names (Dee-Dee and Suzanne) and made Dee-Anne. So my daughters name is very special. I just thought Abby is such a cute name, especially with the hidden meanings behind it!

Its a beautiful name

My name is actually Abby. Not Abigail shortened, just Abby. I'm thinking of changing it to Abigail just to save the trouble.

I am not an Abigail, just Abby. It is different but at the'same time annoying. There is always at least 1 Abigail who goes by Abby in all of my classes at school. I hate people who go by Abby if they are in my class because it is confusing as heck. If they were born Abigail, go by Abigail not Abby.

I'm an Abby! My real name is Abigail but I HATE that name! It'sounds too old! Abbys are awesome! I love the name Abby:D

i love my name as abby. i don't think It's too unique cuz i've met like 5 abby's before. (I'm just a teen) my name is abigail but people call me abby. i'd like to change my name'sometimes to something more unique but abby is a great name i think :D

I love this name and plan to name my baby girl Abigail but for short Abby because they are both so beautiful

It is ok...i hate the name abby. The name abby is for a baby!!!

I just had a daughter 12/28/12 & named her Abby. Abby means "a father's joy". Her middle name is Noelle. Noelle which means "Christmas". So her name means, A father's joy @ Christmas. We wanted a name that was short & sweet & to the point. I hope she ends up liking her name.

i luv the name abby and thats not only because its mine lol

My name is Abby, not short for anything. I'm 13. I don't really love it because in my grade/age group it is extremely common. I actually have classes with 5 other abby/ Abbie/ abi's. And although they are spelled different, they pronounce it the'same and it gets confusing and frustrating. I just think 2013 & 2014 and 2015 were bad years to be named some form of "abby".

My new puppy has been nameless for 5 days. I have finally decided Abby is the name for her. She is named after the Abby on the TV show NCIS.

hI'my name is Abby i am 11 years old and i go by Abby. when i get in trouble i am called Abigail. all of my friends call me ab for short!

i love the name abigail but at school the teache's call me real name which is abigail but i liked to be called abby better

i love my name but when people thank my real name is Abbigale i go insane! when my real name is Abby. yes i know everybody wants all Abby's name to be abbigale. we caint help that'so just take it out with our parents not us. p.s. i looooovvvveee my real name Abby. love, Abby

I was born in the early 70's and never met another Abby (of any spelling) until my mid-teens. I liked having an orginal name. However, now my name is so popular that I hear moms my own age calling "Abby" out to their little toddlers in every public place that I go. I wouldn't like my name'so much if I were one "Abby" among of dozens of them in my school.

My daughter is named Abby Natalyn and she is 6 years old. If I had a dime for everytime asked me is Abby short for Abigail I'd be a millionare. I do however call her Abigail as a nick name but when other's do it, it annoys me. Silly I know, because that's our thing.

This is the best name ever!!! Yes, it is true that no one hardly ever'spells it right but It's ok. Everyone who sees this name'spelt out always says that it is a beautiful way of spelling it.

people always spell my name wrong and i get called flabby etc i hate my name and it is two common... there is two abbys in my class!!

We just had a baby girl and named her Vada Christine! We have had so many compliments on her name! After we named er Vada we found out it was kind of a family name =)

I used to be the only abby, but now I know so many babies being names that. I feel like i am being stripped of my individuality. Oh well, when something is good, share it!

haha my name is abby and that is my only name NOT ABIGAIL! no offence.. but i would prefer another name its kinda bold I'mean would you speak to some one who says :hI'my name is summer or :my name is abby ....somtimes it makes me feel like a cavewomen but i suppose it is the name i was given and it would be rude to change it i suppose..and plus people spell it wrong anyway and the down side is everything bad rhyms with abby think about it...but on the good side its easy to say and spell and it hmmm...sorealy it does sorta even out with all the pros and cons ...im not sure though tbs xx

My name is Abby. I really like the name because its a little unusual, and can be spelt many ways. I have plenty of certificates and trophies that have my name'spelt Abbey. No-one has ever really pronounced my first name wrong. I don't know any Abbys spelt like me. I usually get Abigail from people who haven't met me, but my name Isn't short for it. My parents call me Abba-Dab, and my friends call me Abz.

Often people spell my name like my friend, Abbi's, name, but mine is spelled Abby.

My sisters name is abby and she is full deserving of the name. As one of the meaning suggests she is beautiful! So for all of u with the name abby, You Rock!

My name is Abby, and like previous posters i've had the problem of people assuming my name is Abigail. i've always liked Abby better than Abigail. When I was growing up, it was very uncommon (born in 1987) and I liked that about my name. However,I do find that the name comes with a very strong connotation of "sweetness". And as I get older, I'm not sure that it has really grown up along with me. I'm very careful when I name my own children...that I am not pinning them with a name that won't grow with them. Overall, I would recommend the name. It has a good sound to it and is a classic. But it has become very common lately.

Im Abbie but its Spelt Abbie just Abbie heeops of people spell it wrong

It's my name and i like it except everyone thinks my name is abigail but it Isn't

My name is abby but my real name is not abigail i love this name it fits me its so bubbly and happy like me

My 9mth daughter is called Abby. I intially spelt it Abi but decided to change it as everyone who sent cards spelt it either Abbey Abbie Abby. At least someone may get it right whenever needed. Ha

I am an Abby, and no, I am not an Abigail. My mother named me Abby Clare because my two grandmothe's are Avis and Bernice--A and B, to get Abby--and because she loves the name. My parents tried very hard to have a child, but not until my mother decided to name her baby Abby Clare was I conceived. Coincidental, no❤️ I have only known one other Abby my whole life, but I have met other people with the'same name. For a while I didn't like my name, but when my mom told me it means 'source of joy', I decided I liked it. Also, the way my boyfriend says it makes It'sound so beautiful... even if I lose him, I still love the way It'sounds. I just don't like it when people name their dogs Abby. It's not a dog name. That's just a teeny bit insulting. But cute... I suppose. *shrugs*

I agree with the othe's...my name is Abby, and it Isn't even short for Abigail, but people used to call me that and it drove me nuts as well! but they don't really do that anymore, so It's okay!

I love my name but always there is a down side. Everyone at school calls me abigail and it bothe's me cause It's not my real name. Some of my nicknames are "babs" "gabby abby" "abbilicious" "abs" and " abster". Also no one in my school has the'same name as me!

Im an Abby, not Abigail on my birthcert. Maybe this sounds goofey, but i think Abigail is too much like A big gal. Abilene would have bn cool, shortened to Abi. I like being different in that its not short for Abigail, but sometimes i do thing Abby kinda sounds childish. so an option wud have bn nice, Abigail could be shortened to Gail❤️ meh. Still I really like the Abilene option.

I'm Abigail. I go by Abby. Everyone Calls me Abby, Abs or Blondie. Sometimes when I'm in trouble i get called abigail

so is mine .abby. i hate when'they spell it differently!!!

I never met another abby till I'made a pen pal and odly enough her name was abby!!! I was so excited!!

my build-a-bear is named Abby, but I spell it Abbie. I think It's a cut name.

My name is Abigail but all my friends and family call me abby. when im in trouble my mom calls me abigail

Some day I'm going to name my baby girl Abby. It's such a cute name, I felt in love with it!

I LOVE my name Abby. I don't like Abigail! That'sounds old. Abby sounds sweet. See ya! Abby!

My name is abbigail but peple call me Abbi. everyone spelles it wrong.

Hi I'm well abby I lovve the name Abby because it is so unique. I love it when people think I am Abbigale and then I tell them that I am just Abby like on my birth certificate It'says Abby! no one usually spells it wrong. At times I think Abby is a name for someone chubby but then i think and I like the name a lot. So for those of you who hate the name abby just remember Abby can mean so many things:gothhic,mean,nice,cute,sweet,emo almost anyones personality matches with abby and that's why I love my name!

Hey my name is Abigail(Abby for short)and I'm a conjoined twin. My conjoined twin's name is Brittany(sometimes i call her "Britty")and people never know if we're Abby and Brittany or Abigail and Brittany.

I don't really like my name, which is abby. People don't beli've me when I tell them my name Isn't Abigail. I hate it. I also don't like that it is so popular. I wish it was something more original.

People used to call me 'Abbey National' at school and I really hated it! I like my name now but people always assume that my name is Abigail.

I wish I was named Abby/Abbie/Abbey, however you want to spell it. I love this name!

i like abby...It's my best friends name...her name is abigail...but she hates it if anyone calls her abigail...so we jus call her abby or ab

I am the fourth Abby in my family and I love it. I have not run into many othe's my in my age group (30). It is just femine enough, but not frilly. It lives up to its mean "Joy."

people always think my name is abigail and it drive sme crazy!!!Also when you try to get stuff with your name on it you cant find it!!I still love my name though.

i love my name abby . i am still a teenager and yet my teache's still think its short for abigail . its not thats why i love it

My name is Sara Abigail. I go by Abby. I do not like this name! I`d rather go by Sara, but force of habit. It means "Father rejoicing". Wow.

HI'my names abby. i like my name. lots of people misspell it. My read name is Abagail but people just call me Abby. :)

My name is Abby and i hate my name'so everyone and I'mean everyone class me Abs. And girls who were named Abigail just streched out the name Abby their so copycaters. And i hate how people try to spell my name Abbey, Abbie. But i think it would be kwl to spell it Abi and it going to be awesome when i am 70 and people call me Abby, It'sounds youthful. Cause i do not want to be old when i am old hehehe. By the way im 11 and i amprove this message hehehehe

hi im an ABI and in kindergraden my mom was decide abi other whys i would still be abigail.and lets just say ask anyone i am NOT an abigail. abi for my something different

I like the uniqueness of having my name just be "Abby" instead of Abigail...Oh and the list goes on for nicknames...Babs...Abilina, Ab...Love my name

My name is Abby (and just Abby - not short for Abigail) - and I love it! I'm 30 years old, and have never disliked my name. I haven't met many Abby's in my life, so I feel It's fairly unique. And I, personally, love the nicknames/shortened-versions people come up with: "Abbs", "Ab", and my parents call me (yes, even after 30 years) "Abba-Zabba" or just "Zab" (after the 'Abba-Zabba candy bars that were popular in the '80s). I like Abby because i've climbed the "corporate ladder", as it were, and have never felt that my name felt too childish or young to be taken seriously. Sure, people may not spell it correctly with "-ie" or "-ey", but hey....I let it go. Go, Abby's!

my name is abby but I love it and very surprisingly no one spells it wrong

Abby is my 13 year old first born. I don't know very many Abby's and I thought it was a cute and simple name for a child and a "spunky" name for when she's older. Just think...a 70 year old named Abby! Now that's cool!!

my lithuanian cousin pronounces my name [abby] a-bee. its kinda cool [=

Hey, my name is Abby. People always assume that my name is Abigail, and it gets frustrating! I used to think my name was 'okay', but now I like it. Besides, I have the coolest nickname! I am always called Abs. I love it! It is just my natural born nickname! I love it, and It'sounds cute:) ABBY'S R AWESOME!

im and abby! people always spell my name abbey. and they always assume my name is abigail, but its not my parents liked just abby better.

that is my name, so it is a good name!!!!

hey im abby and the best way 2 spell abby is A-B-B-Y lol hahahah

my name on my birth cert is abbie but i love being called abby and spelling it with a "y" because my best friend is called abbie too so its good that people can'talk about us both without getting us mixed up. i hate the "abbey" spelling, it looks ugly. abbys ftw :D

hey were abbi's too. were both the'same age in the'same class but we shorten our name to thing 1 and thing 2 cause it get confusing when everyone shouts abbi and we both look around but we like abbie :By thing 1 & 2 ( abbi g & Abbi t )

One of my personality's names is Abby. I think It's an adorable name.

people call me "Ab" all the time. IT is SSSOO annoying!! My name is Abby! call me that!!

i have a cat named Abby<3 i love that name It'sounds so sweet!

My sister and I fought over who would name their daughter this one day. She got pregnant first, but I convinced her to go with Lily, so I can name my daughter this one day :)i've always loved this name.

My name is Abby and I love it. I just hate it when poeple think my name is Abigail... it drives me insane. Like I just got teacher i've known for so long, to knowing my name is Abby. People call me a bunch of different names such as, Abracadabra, Abbs, and Abba-dabba-doo. love em all!

MY SISTER IS CALLED ABBIY BUT She'sPELLS IT LIKE THIS ABBIE

my name is abby, and i love it but i do agree that i am always asked if my real name is abigail too. And again it is always mis spelt. but it is not common where im from and in 25 years i think i have only ever met about 4 or 5 othe's. never'spelt the'same tho.

My name is Abby, not short for anything. I really hate my name though, because it has become soooo popular, that literally in every single one of my classes every year, there is one other Abby (Whose real name is Abigail, btw). My parents figured they would never call me Abigail, so they named me Abby instead.

Way too feminine. You're asking for your boy to get teased if you name him Nancy.

my name is abby well abigale but i like abby better its shorter'sometimes i don't like it becuse i feel like i am the only abby from anywere :(:(

My name is Abby not Abigail. When I was young Abby was not a popular name by any means. My biggest pet peeve was(and still is) that I would introduce myself and people in turn would call me everything from Amy to Debbie.

My name is Abigail, but I go by Abby because Abigail doesn't suit me very well, It's too fancy for my taste. It does get spelled incorrectly quite often'though. Overall, I like the name Abby, It'suits me well and I don't know anybody else with that name. :)

I love my name.. but i hate it when people call me abigail.. because i think It'sounds like a cows name.. dont get me wrong i adore this name.. just not what it comes from.. people call me abigail and i am like uh no. that is a cow

Hi, my name is Abby. It is short for Abigail. I go by Abigail when I want to be fancy or when I am in trouble.

My mom named me abby b/c the nurses wanted me named before she took me home and the first name in the baby book was Abby. I really don't know if I like b/c it is sooo common. Their are 4 abbys in my class!

My name is just Abby, not short for anything. I love being an Abby! Most people call me Ab or Abs for short, and I don't mind. I feel like Abby is a very cute, feminine name.

Yay! Its My Name Too., I Thought No One Spelt It Like This Either. Yay!!! My Friends Can Spell It. But No Else Can.

My name is Abby! I think its a REALLY cool name as its a unique spelling because some people spell my name common ways such as Abbey or Abbie. My friends call me ab,abs or abfab! I am 10 yrs old no offence but I hate the name Abigail as there is a mean girl at my school called Abigail and it wasn't my favourite name before I'met her either. I love my name and spelling of it but they do a lot of personalised stuff in shops that is only Abbie or Abbey - which is EXTRA MEGA annoying! Though I did get a necklace with the right spelling ONCE! Anyway I L.O.V.E my name ABBY'S ARE THE BEST! YEAH!

No Abigail here either, just Abby, short and sweet! I am 29 and have grown much closer to my name throughout the years. I had to suffer through the "abs of steel" years in my early teens, which somehow branched into a thousand nicknames. I now embrace my name and love it. For me It's always been unique as not many people in my age bracket share it. My parents were all about the'shortened condensed version of names and now that I am creating a family of my own, I am as well. I have always been very grateful that I was not named Abigail, as it reminds me a 70 year old woman. Besides I could never imagine wanting to be called Gail. Often'times people take the liberty in calling me Abigail and it really depends on how much I like the person if I correct them or not ;)

My names Abby! i know TONS! of abbys but NOBODY spells it like mine!!! and people spell it wrong and its annoying! lol!

I love my name Abby but what I don't like is that everybody either miss spell it or think my real name is Agigail. Whenever I have a new teacher or something like that they all ask me the'same thing "Is your real name Agigail" but on top of all that I totally remend this name It's unquie and not that common there's only like 1 Abby in my grade and It's me.

abby is a very cute name and can be still pretty and sexy for an adult. this is my name but i spell it Abi its more orriginal i think, as everyone spells it Abby in england nice to be different.

My 3month old daughter is Abigail. We call her Abby (Abbey,Abi, Abbie), THE Abster, and AbbyShmabby! :=)

My name is Abbey though many people including my bf spell it wrong I understand Abby and Abbie are ways to spell it too but I like my name.Also I am just Abbey I am not a Abigail or anything I understand other Abbey get angry like me when someone spells it wrong it really ticks me off.My name is popular in the year I was born.if you guessed 2011 you were correct bye Abbey ps my Bffs call me Ebby

Okay, first things first, people always spell Abby wrong even my teache's. Secondly, being called Abbs Kebabs is annoying. People call me Abigail and it is so weird cause that is not my name. And last but not least, no one I have ever met spells it like mine which is kinda odd. But overall I love my name. And, by the way, I am my fathe's joy.

I like the name, but couldn't use it because It's become so poplular.

my name is abby and everyone always spells is "AbbIE" its abbY! hahah <333

My new cousin's name is Abby, short for abygaile.....but I like abby

people are freaken mean abigail and abby are great names!(: so shut up
