Can't decide! Really like Abby, not s sure on Abigail DH really likes it. Think I like Elizabeth - has many shortening options. What do you think?

Both lovely but I would go for Elizabeth - call her Lizzie and buy her a lovely copy of Pride and Prejudice!!

I much prefer Elizabeth to Abigail.

Definitely Abigail for me

Beth is nice.

I have one of each! But Elizabeth has a different nickname to any mentioned so far as does Abigail..........

They are both classics - you can't go wrong with either.

Elizabeth
Because I like Lizzie, Beth but not Betty
Not keen on Abby or Abbie or Gail

Elizabeth

I like both of these names. I probably prefer Elizabeth.

Lizzie is cute as a baby, Liz as an adult and Elizabeth when wanting to sound posh!

I was tempted to use Elizabeth for DD.
