I love my name.. i feel it describes me really well. Unique, kinda always a kid inside, no matter how old I look, cute. i've only met around 3 or 4 other girls named Abigail, but its becoming more common for little kids. Recently, a lot for my friends spell Abby (the'short form) Abi, and its kinda annoying.. amazing name but please dont name your kid Abigail until the trend has died down. oh, and plus, little kids can say it really easy, so for like, sisters and brothe's.. its easier.. GREAT NAME!!

Abigail is a nice name and all but I'm not that fond of it. It's my name and It's almost as common as Jennifer in the 80❤️s which I hate. Because It's so common I never felt like had any sort of self identity and i've decided the name doesn't suit me at all.

My name is Abigail. My mom really liked the name and I hated it with a passion while I was growing up. Nobody that I know has ever misspelled "Abigail" but that might be because I haven't really gone by that name much. I go by Abby and people are constantly misspelling it. Even'to this day I think my dad still spells it Abbie. I like my name now it is very elegent and professional. I think as I get older I will start to be known as Abigail and not Abby

I was born Abigail in the 80s when It'still wasn't all that popular and even'though I go by Abby, no one has ever had a problem spelling it or pronouncing it, and i've had a few people ask why I just don't go by Abigail all the time. It has a unique elegance to it and I think it fits my personality and i've always been quite satisfied with both Abby and Abigail.

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.

When our daughter was born, we called her Natalie. Then my dad said it was the wrong spelling, and that the correct spelling was Nathalie - the French way. Because of our French ancestry we corrected the name to Nathalie. In French, the "h" is silent and the name is pronounced much the'same as Natalie. So, Nathalie is really called Natalie or Nat but has to spell it out whenever'someone has to write it down (eg at the doctor's). I love this name, It's very classy, and when written down, it looks like a picture.

I don't know where you got the meaning of the name, or if this is the correct place to report this, but according to The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon, your meaning is incomplete. The name definitely does contain the idea of joy, but also that of father. A closer translation could be "my father is joy," or perhaps "her father's joy."

My name is Abigail. People often mis-spell it Abigale or Abagale. It's kind of awkward to say "hey--that's not how I spell my name". i've even had people write personal checks and mis-spell it! i've had to go back and ask them to re-write It'so I can cash it at my bank. So, needless to say, that gets annoying. I agree with the above comment about people saying my name like It's two words: Abbie-Gail. It'should be said in one syllable. I LOVE my name. I was named from the Abigail in the Bible and she is described in 1 Samuel 25 as beautiful and intelligent. I love all of the things my name'symbolizes for me and I love that It's unique because I only know one other girl with my name.

I named my daughter Abigail, born in 2008, she is her father's joy. She loves her name and so do my wife and I. She goes by Abby or Abigail. I never ran across anyone with the name back then, but there are currently 3 Abigails in her'school of 140 students. I love beer, so I wnat to spell her name Abigale - A-big-ale...but my wife shot that down.

My name is Abigail and I spell my nickname Abbi. I have never met ANYONE who spells it like that. To me it makes since from the root word Abigail. I have met an Abi. But 99% of the time if people call me Abbi - they misspell it!

Everyone spells it either Abagal, Abigaal, Abigal, or Abbagial. I also like to be called Abbie even'though it is the nickname for Abaraham.

My name is Abigail. My grandpa named me which he was a reverend and I think he got it right because not only do people think I am beautiful but it hurts me so badly to see people hurting. I know that my name is from the bible and basically all my aunts and uncle's have biblical names. I thank god that my grandpa chose this perfect name for me. I love you so much Buenaventura.

A very pretty name, but incredibly trendy--think of how much it will date a woman in 40 or 50 years, when'the trend has long since ended. It will sound frumpy/dowdy to most people, much like Mabel, Gertrude, or Ethel do now (names that were wildly popular at one time, but I bet parents naming their daughters those names never thought about the future, when'the trend would end!). Someday we'll have old folks' homes filled with Abigails, Emmas and Madisons. Better to go with a name that hasn't had such an extreme spike in popularity recently.
