Reply Emma Dec 7 at 7:36 am Abby is best firend and is funny UNLIKE STINKY TYSON Reply Raquell Sep 9 at 9:52 am When I was 8 or 9 I read a cute story about a little girl named Abby and loved it ever since. Reminds me of a gentle, sweet little girl, but shes a Virgo so we will see lol but it might be a good idea to give a Virgo a gentle name Reply Abby Apr 6 at 6:05 pm My name is Abby and I kind of agree with the Abby at the top. I like being called Abby more than Abigail, so whenever someone calls me Abigail, I put gail behind they’re name. Like Liamgail or Momgail. I always wondered why I was named Abigail. And my uncles, grandpa and my dad all thought of the name Abigail and didn’t even know that they all thought of the same name. Otherwise my mom would have named me Volia!!? IMPORTANT!!!!! Abigail/Abby is a great name for a Tauras! I’m double Tauras, Scorpio.
