When I think of my name, I usually think of Abbey before Abigail I feel Abbey just suits me better. I don’t hate the name Abigail; I just think it is dated and old. Abbey seems more fun and different. Especially with how my parents choose to spell it. Almost everyone spells my name wrong at first (Abby being the most common). I think the –ey is a nice way of switching things up and being different. On a smaller note I also like that my name is spelled like The Beetles album cover. Music is something that I love, and Abbey Road is, in my opinion, one of the most iconic and famous albums yet. If not knowing the name of the album recognizing The Beetles crossing the road. Overall I think Abbey is the name for me, I don’t know another name that would fit me more and I wouldn’t think of changing it. Even if my parents randomly picked it, it has proven to be the perfect fit for me.

The ethnic source of my name is Hebrew. “…in the Old Testament this is the name of Nabal’s wife. After Nabal’s death she became the third wife of Kind David.” (Campbell) So on this interactive map I choose to place a star on the state of Israel, a country where Hebrew is spoken.

When I asked my parents why they named me Abigail Lynn they responded simply with, “we just fell in love with the name Abigail and Abbey for short” also concluding that my mom wanted her first born child to have the same middle name as her (my moms name being Kari Lynn). As short and sweet as this answer is, I find it very satisfying just because who my parents are. They are unique people who do things they want and how they want to do it. So, I feel if I had a name that was passed down or did have some deep meaning, it would almost be weird in my case.
