Abigail or Elizabeth?

[Aliensloveunderpants]

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?

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.

Elizabeth

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

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

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

Beth is nice.

Definitely Abigail for me

I much prefer Elizabeth to Abigail.

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

Elizabeth

Elizabeth (shortened to Libby)

Both lovely names, but slightly prefer abigail.

Abigail

Can't stand Elizabeth.

Abigail much nicer.

I like Libby.

Buffy is the best nickname, tis Royal.

Elizabeth. Beautiful name.

Really dislike Abigail, but it must be the 'gail' bit that i dislike because i think 'Abbie' is a lovely name.

prefer elizabeth
lizzy
liz
beth
libby
bet
betty
let

I think that's the problem with Abigail for me - the Gail bit. Am in an Elizabeth mood today but you know what it's like when you're pregnant yours mood change with the hour - or at least they do for me

Thanks for all your comments

you've maybe had enough comments but i am a fan of elizabeth (perhaps because of my rl name) and have been quite happy as a Libby since I was about 7 - thought about using Elizabeth as I got older (and strangely I did in the hospital when having ds), but Libby seemed to just suit me more - but that what i love about elizabeth - so many different shortened choices.

I know a girl who was called Lilybet

Hi

I am in the same boat as really love Abbie/Abby but dont really like Abigail.
I also really love Libby but not really Elizabeth.
It is nice to put the full proper name on the birth cert but you dont have to use it.

love them both, my dd is abigail elizabeth, would have called dd2 elizabeth if we hadn't already used it.

Another vote for Elizabeth - I used to name all of my dolls that when I was little But I never liked Liz or Lizzie - always was Beth. Could always use Liza as a nickname!
