My DH loves the name [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] and keeps trying to suggest it to me. I like the association with [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_m]Adams[/name_m], and I also like the meaning “my father is joyful” (could you get a nicer Father-Daughter meaning???). BUT I don’t much like the sounds and I really hate [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and [name_f]Gail[/name_f] as nicknames. I also dislike [name_f]Aggie[/name_f], which is another nn. So… Can anyone come up with a better nn that might convince me to add it to the list?
I too dislike [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and [name_f]Aggie[/name_f], which is really inconvenient because I live [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] as a first name and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] as a middle. An really cute and wearable nickname I like is [name_f]Attie[/name_f]. But I think that her friends would make her an [name_u]Abby[/name_u] whether or not you do, though. Maybe a different name? [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Adaline[/name_f], ect?
Good luck!
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]: [name_u]Allie[/name_u]/ally or [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] … Ailey … Billie
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] + her middle name could also make some cute nicknames depending on the middle.
Thanks Teenberry - It’s very particularly [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] from DH. [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] are not his (or my) style. Too bad you’re struggling with the same dislike of [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] and [name_u]Abby[/name_u]! I was thinking maybe “[name_f]Bea[/name_f]” for aBIgail? I could live with [name_f]Bea[/name_f].
I was going to suggest [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. Besides [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and [name_f]Gail[/name_f], this is the only other natural sounding nickname for [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] that I can think of.
I like [name_f]Bee[/name_f] and [name_u]Billie[/name_u], although I think [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] in full would be lovely and refreshing.
If you gave her a middle name with a nickname that you do adore, she could definitely go by that. If you like [name_f]Bea[/name_f]/[name_f]Bee[/name_f], you could name her [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] so that [name_f]Bea[/name_f] could be taken from either name. Now for the names in your signature-
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] Elixane- [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]- [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]

Or you could give her a middle name you love, and have her go by that.
Best Wishes! 
Oh, I forgot to mention- Sometimes nicknames just fall into place. I have a lot of nicknames that my family has just given me over the years. Some from my parents, my brother, my grandparents, etc. What I mean to say is that if you go with [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], you might not even end up calling her that anyway. 
Why does it need a nickname anyway? It’s prettier as a full name.
To be honest, I dislike [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] but if I had to use the name, my preferred nickname would be [name_f]Bea[/name_f].
