Abigail

I am 90% sure our daughter will be Abigail/nn Abby.  My husband and I both love it and "Abby" just feels right, but something is holding me back - perhaps the popularity.  Would that bother you or would you go for it?

Go for it.  If you love it dont worry about the charts.  I think it is a really pretty name.

I love that name! I think if you love it and it "feels right" go for it!

I'm about 99% sure this is the same name we are using. I am looking around to make sure there's nothing I like better but I'm almost set.

It is popular but I don't care. To be honest even though it's close to the top of the list and has been for a while, there is not one in my family thus far. (and I have a large family) Although in the area I live it's not as common as other places, it wouldn't stop me.

My sister named one of her daughters Emma and her son Ethan. Both are near the top of the list when they were born and they haven't had another one in their class yet. Although as someone who grew up with a very common name, it's no big deal.

Our top girl name is ranked #14 or something but I've never heard of a girl with that name. Do you know any Abigails? What about your state ranking? If I felt it was "the" name, then popularity wouldn't sway me a ton. Maybe if it was top 3. You have some time, look for other names and if nothing feels right like Abigail then go for it.

I took anything off the top 200 when naming DS.  But after hanging around here I realized who really cares, some names are popular because they are good names.  For my next baby Emily, Mason, and Ethan will be given more consideration. . . Anyways, if you love it-use it!

If you love it, then use it. I personally would rather a "common" name rather than a name most people haven't heard and the kid get teased to death in school.

Abigail is beautiful.

It's on our list, DH loves Abigail, nn Abby, and for a while I had an association but I've crossed that off my baggage list and moved on happily. It's a gorgeous name and I really don't feel like it's that popular.

I'm in the minority here, but the popularity would turn me off. There are 2 Abigails just on my street, so it is definitely popular in my area. Maybe as a middle name?

I love Abigail and would use it if it was not already in the family.  As long as you don't know many people currently with the name, I would not worry about it.  It is popular and classic for a reason!

It is my niece's name and is WAY too popular for my taste - if you love it, I say use it, it is a pretty name.

This is one of my most disliked names and I really don't know why. There is just something about it that I don't like. BUT...if you feel that it's the one for you and the popularity doesn't bother you, use it!

In all honesty, I'm really sick of hearing this name. It is so popular right now and while it isn't top 10 for 2012 it just might be for 2013. If you really love it, I guess go for it, but I couldn't possibly do it.

My daughter is Abigail and she was born last year when the ranking is even higher than I think it will be this year.  The popularity does bother me a little bit still and I do often meet other "Abbys".  The name "Addy" is really popular right now too and sometimes I can't tell them apart on the playground. BUT I don't regret it - I still love it.

Thanks, all!  *Of course* when I said "let's go for it" to my husband last night, he said, "I don't know... I am really loving Grace."  (Grace has been my #1 choice since the beginning - even though it is also very popular, I feel like it has a timeless quality that makes the popularity both me less.)  AGGGGHHHHH!!!
