My name is Abigail Kristin.
I was named after Abigail Adams, the 2nd First Lady of the United States. My mom really liked her and respected her, and so that is where I got my name. I just found out this year that my middle name was chosen because it's the name of my dad's favorite cousin.
I used to not like my name (as probably most elementary school kids did). The reason I didn't like it that much was because I didn't know any other Abbies growing up. I thought that my parents picked an outdated name, so I was embarrassed by it. Little did I realize that that was a GOOD thing. I remember wishing my name was Julie when I was a kid. I thought Julie was a fabulous name, and I envied the Julies I knew. My liking of this name came partially from my favorite movie.
I now really like my name, and definitely wouldn't change it (Although I did change my last name 3 years ago - mostly because I had a hard time writing it in cursive. Oh, and cause I got married). I like that Abbie/Abigail is extremely popular for a baby's name now. When I was born, it was ranked like 246, and now it's like #3. I like meeting 1-year-olds with my name.

oh, i can just hear julie's little sister saying, "Oh julie!" in that horrible utah accent they all have in that movie.
I like the name Abbie/Abigail. I named my little girl Isabel and I think that surprised a lot of people. Kinda old-timey. But now you hear Isabella, Isabel, all over the place.
We thought of Abby when we were thinking of a name for Gracie. My name has never really been that popular. I would love to meet a 1 year old with my name. P.S. Robby and I just saw The Illusionist and the leading lady's name is Sophie and it made me want to have a girl named Sophie!
