Abigail would be easier, variant spellings can make for lots of totally unneccessary hassle.

Ellen
Sophia
Harriet
Georgina/Georgia
Anne

Abbygail is how its been spelt as DH mum bought her a name plaque for her door on holiday :( but never mind x

I like Anne and Ellen and Marie x

Your MIL bought your unborn child a name plaque before you'd decided on a name??

Apart from that being madness, it's a daft reason to keep a silly spelling of a lovely name.

I think Mary is the best middle name there is :)

ZZZenAgain · 11/08/2011 09:28

are you trying to decide between Julie or Josephine or still totally undecided on a middle name? If it is between the two, I think Josephine goes better than Julie with Abbygail.

Alice!

And PLEEEEEEEEASE spell it Abigail!

Ditto. Abigail. She'll have problems at school, giving details over the phone etc, etc as everyone knows it as 'Abigail'. Never heard of a door plaque being spelt 'Abbygail'. I know it's unique but you've got to think about how the child will live with that spelling.
I had a Conna and a Conner in my class. Nightmare trying to remember different spellings!

Hi Valiant1 How do you wish to spell your daughters name?? Your MIL has had her chance naming children it is up to you and DH. Stuff the name plaque!

Please spell it Abigail otherwise your DD will send her whole life spelling her name.

Middle Names:

Josephine - IMO sounds lovely.

what about Julia
Grace
Mary
Olivia
Jessica
Sophie or Sophia
Emily
Nancy

GwendolineMaryLacey · 11/08/2011 10:58

In fact...

I also prefer Abigail & if she´s not yet registered I would go with that tbh-it´s not up to MIL to decide how to wrongly spell your child´s name.

I think that Josephine is lovely as a mn.

mathanxiety · 11/08/2011 17:27

Really, put the plaque on the inside of the door where it won't be seen, or put it away in the attic, and spell her name Abigail.

Josephine is a lovely mn.

Please spell her name Abigail, the other spelling is dreadful.

Abigail Louisa
Abigail Kate
Abigail Jane
Abigail Clara
Abigail Constance
