I think this name is just beautiful. I wonder how practical it is though because some people might find it hard to pronounce. I like the idea of Abby as a nickname for something more unique than Abigail.

This name is nice, but I can't use it, because all I associate it with is a character from the anime "Now and Then, Here and There".

I like Amelia and Abigail, but this just sounds like an annoying maid to me.

How is this pronounced? Unsure. I do like the look of it. It could be another route to Abbie, as well as Abigail and Abilene.
