[name]Hi[/name] berries, what do you all think of the name [name]Abilene[/name]? I like it along with the nn [name]Abbie[/name] but I wonder how the rest of the world will take it since it is such an unheard of name. What do you think?
I like it it sounds like a bluegrass song…I would never use it
It’s a city in [name]Texas[/name] and a song from the 70s so I think it would be heard of if you’re state side, if it wasn’t for the city of [name]Abilene[/name] TX I would like the name because I like the way it sounds.
My first thought was the city in [name]Texas[/name], but I still love it. In other parts of the country it probably doesn’t have this association, though.
[name]Do[/name] you pronounce it [name]Ab[/name]-il-lene or [name]Abe[/name]-il-line? In the book The Help, one of the characters name’s is [name]Abileen[/name], which would be pronounced like the latter. I love them both, but the [name]Abileen[/name] pronunciation feels more “name-y” to me, probably because of my association with the city.
It reminds me of the character from the book The Help. In the movie version the character was played by [name]Viola[/name] [name]Davis[/name] so it sort of makes me think of her.
Hmm I don’t find it all that attractive, sorry 
…how about [name]Aveline[/name]? pn: [name]Ava[/name]-lene
