I have a sister named Abby, short for Abigail. How Beautiful!
way too popular i would go with Abba as a close 2nd if you really wanted a name like thisMy name is Abby, and it's NOT short for Abigail. I hate it when people say my full name is Abigail. When it isn't. It's just Abby. Anyway, Abby is a great name.
We have three Abbys at my school, and we just call them by their last names. They are all best friends and it's pretty funny.
