Abby Abbie Abbey Abbi

How about just Abigail?


The poll results for the spelling of a nickname for Abigail were:

Abbi ~ 3 votes, 10%
Abbie ~ 8 votes, 27%
Abby ~ 15votes, 51%
Abbey~ 4votes, 13%
Abbye ~ 0 votes (Preetty safe to say this one's out of the running)

While we still are calling her Abbie, or Abby or Abbey, I still can't decide how I want to spell it.

I'm leaning towards Abbie just because it's a little different. {Considering my nickname is Andi and it ends with an "i" instead of a "y"}


Michael's leaning towards Abby, but I want to know what you think. What spelling did you vote for? Was there a specific reason why you voted that way? Leave a comment with your favorite!


Can you tell she was only interested in the caramel, and not the apple? We had to take a shower once she was done, it was all over the place!

{And just in case you hadn't noticed, I'm having a blast playing with my new camera!}

I like Abby.
She wouldn't have to worry about people spelling her name wrong.(:
I like it because it's common.
Uncommon names are cute too.
But, I've always liked the way its spelt.

I voted for "Abby" just because I have a odd named and I HATED it when I was a kid that everyone else could find keychains, pencils, mugs etc. with their name on it. With Abby and/or Abigail she can always find her name. Plus a nickname is already a simple version of a name why make it difficult by having an odd spelling (but that's just my opinion)

Well I feel as a teaher and Abigail learning to spell her name in school, I voted for Abi. That way she would have the beginning of her name down and not have to relearn how to spell her name Abigail with one "B".

I also think if you have not given her a nickname by now that you should just wait until she makes that choice herself. Then she can spell it the way she wants. Friends at school will give her a nickname at some point.

Abigail is a very cute name.

I personally vote for Auggie. Because Austin couldn't say Abigail
when she was first born he alway's called her Auggigail...Of course that could be Grandma's pet name for her!! Just like Bubby, Bubbie, Bubi..for Austin. How did we decide to spell it?
