I'm due to have a girl in 2 weeks and we have the names narrowed down to Abigail or Amelia. I like Amelia because it's less common and isn't likely to be shortened. My husband likes Abigail. He thinks Amelia sounds like an old lady. I just wanted to gather some votes. I hope it's not rude to ask this but I have a feeling some of you will send me your favorite names! I appreciate it but we've struggled to get it down to two so please keep your answers to one or the other even if they're not your personal favorites! Thanks!

Congratulations!!! In the vote of the two I would definitely say Amelila. I've known a lot of parents who have recently named their daughters Abigail and can't say that I've known one to go with Amelia. When my ex-wifes's brother had a girl they named her Abigail. I think they spelled it different though. Anyhow... go with your best instinct. For both of my kids I used the back porch test. Visualize standing out on your back porch and try screaming out the kids entire name to get them to come inside. If it's tongue-trippy you might not want to go with that.

Well Abigail will definately get shortened to Abby, which is a cute name, but it doesnt sound like you want that. So I would go with Amelia, that is a cute name, and its different. If you and your hubby cant decide you can always use both Amelia Abigail. that sounds good.

Amelia definately, I named my daughter amelia and people always compliment me on what a beautiful name it is, she does get called millie for short though. I think Amelia Abigail is a lovely name and a great compromise

Amelia sounds a lot prettier and abigail is too common. Maybe if you two can agree on a name you could use one as a middle name. Ameila Abigail sounds okay.
