Comments and insights on the name Abbey: | Edit

I'm a huge Beatles fan and wanted a name that wasn't too Beatles-fan but also paid respects to my favorite band. I lived in London for a while and Abbey Road was my favorite place in the city. I often sat there just to read the newspaper and met lots of great people there from all over the world. Sitting there it became obvious that I should pick this name to both honor the Beatles and my favorite place in my favorite city.

I know a couple who actually named their baby girl Abbey Road. Now I like the Beatles as much as the next gal, but I that completely over the top. Abbey Rose would have done the trick.
