[name]Hi[/name] everyone, this is my first post. We don’t know what we’re having yet, but have a boy name picked out and no girl name.
We both really, really like [name]Abigail[/name], but it was #8 in 2009. I had no idea it was so popular. I would prefer a name that’s less popular, at least not in the top 10.
However, based on absolute numbers, it’s equivalent to a name around #20 of my generation - [name]Erin[/name]/[name]Lisa[/name]/[name]Christina[/name]/[name]Amber[/name]/[name]Kelly[/name] as opposed to [name]Stephanie[/name]/[name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Nicole[/name]/[name]Amy[/name]/[name]Heather[/name] which were around #8 in my generation. It’s definitely not as popular as [name]Jennifer[/name]/[name]Jessica[/name]/[name]Sarah[/name]/[name]Melissa[/name]/[name]Amanda[/name]/[name]Ashley[/name] which seemed to be the name of every other girl when I was growing up and in school. But there’s still a high probability that a little [name]Abigail[/name] would have to go by “[name]Abby[/name] S.” (for example) which could get annoying.
What do you think? Have you encountered lots of baby Abigails and little Abigails running around? I don’t have much exposure to the nursery school set, so I don’t know how common the name actually seems.
