What do you think?

I'm thinking about naming my baby Abigail is that to old school?
Abigail is a very pretty name and is pretty popular. Two of my friends have daughters named Abigail.





I like Sydney also.
Reply:I love Abigail! Well, duh! I should! It's My name! I go by Abby or Abs, and I'm 11, so it's not all that old school. I know a few littler kids with the name, and only one in my grade, so it's not too popular while not too trendy. It's calssic. I always thought of Sydney as too tom-boyish. Also, as a young child they might pronounce it Cindy, and that could cause a big mismatch. I have a cousin named Sydney, but I call her Syd, since I still can't pronounce Sydney right. If you go with Abigail, I think the nickname Abby is best. Or Abs, since Gail is too old fashoined, and Gabby will make people think her name is Gabriella. My name is Abigail Paige, but i also know and Abigail Grace which I think is really pretty. Good luck!
Reply:i love the name abigail, esp Abbie.


I don't like sydney that much though.
Reply:how old are you? Abigail is a very cute name and quite popular.you can call her Abby or Gail.good luck.
Reply:I love it... And it has so many different nicknames like Abby/Abi/Aby/Abyie or Gail or Agie.. etc





i prefer abigail to sydney. In my life i have met about 7 Abi and only 2 of them werw Abigails so its quite uncommen
Reply:I love that name and I like Sydney as well. You need to name her what you want. Dont name her something to please others. Congrats
Reply:I like the name Elizabeth...but I like mine too--Rosalinda--which means "beautiful rose" in Spanish. She could always be nicknamed Lizzie or Lizeth for Elizabeth or Rosey or Rose for Rosalinda.
Reply:I am biased here, my youngest is Abigail and I love it. ,It is cute and sweet. Plus it just suits her with her blond little pig tails.
Reply:I like it it's classic
Reply:I'm not a big fan, but my cousin named her first daughter that. There is always going to be some one in your life that won't like the name you choose.
Reply:that was my old dogs name. i love sydney i think it may be the new future katie
Reply:I love it, I'm biased in favour of traditional names I have to admit, but Abigail has an especially nice strong sound and ring to it.


It therefore follows on that I really don't like Sydney, sorry, to me it still sounds much too unfeminine for a girl especially with its diminutive of 'Sid'!


I find it interesting though that with the current popularity of Sydney as a name people seem to have forgotten the older female name Sidonie which has gone completely out of fashion, but has a much more feminine spelling and sound.


It was the female version of the male Latin name Sidonius which just meant 鈥榝rom Sidon鈥?

Reply:I love Abigail...she could be abby when she's younger and gail when she is older - love the name...I like Sydney as well.
Reply:Well I am 13 and my middle name is Abigail and some of my friends call me Abby. I think that Abigail is a nice name (but anything is compared to my first name, Harriet. lol.). I also think Sydney is good. I think you should go with Sydney because it is more unusual (in a good way). hope this helps! =)
Reply:I think Abigail is a precious name. I love it!





You could go with Sydney Abigail that would be adorable.
Reply:I don't like the name at all. Sydney is nice. I also like Sidonie, the french version.
Reply:I like Sydney better. Abigail....ehh...its okay.
Reply:I like it. It's a pretty name with character.
Reply:I think it's quite pretty and you could actually combine the two and name her Abigail Sydney or Sydney Abigail...they both would be awesome!
Reply:Are you kidding? The old school names are back in a big way. Abigail is a perenial favorite! Sydney is one of those old names that is now a unisex name so i would tend to stay away from that to avoid the question "Is sydney a boy or a girl?". But it is cute none the less.





Best of luck.
Reply:I think Abigail is old-fashioned, but it's become popular again. I wouldn't use it, not because it's too old, but because it was very common in my sister's age group (early 90's).





I'm not a huge fan of Sydney, but I like it more than Abigail.

Reply:No, there is a girl at my school named Abby. It's a cute name. I think it would be better than Sydney because it sounds a little like a boy's name...
Reply:Both Abigail and Sydney are amazing names.


Old school is cool. Don't listen to what other people have to say about this matter unless it's positive. It's your baby, you name him. [:
