Marina vs Abigail? (Plus nicknames)

So my husband likes both of these names I slightly prefer [name_f]Marina[/name_f], but I don’t mind [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]. Middle name for both is [name_f]Lúthien[/name_f]. What about possible nicknames for [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]? I’m not an [name_u]Abby[/name_u] fan…

Thanks!

both flow very well with lúthien, but i personally prefer marina. especially if youre not a fan of abby, i think abigail is bound to get abby at some point. also, since you mentioned you slightly preferring marina and your husband not having a preference, i think it would be a good idea to use marina.


nonetheless, here are some nns for abigail (beware! these may be a tad stretchy)
gabby
bee
bea
gail
lee
bibi

Marina!! I feel like it’s the one you’ve talked about for the longest and it’s a lovely name - and if you don’t like [name_u]Abby[/name_u], that might be hard to avoid with an [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Luthien[/name_f] could have the nn…

[name_u]Allie[/name_u]
[name_f]Aggie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilou[/name_f]
Bilou
[name_f]Bibi[/name_f]

I have a soft spot for [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] but I’m all about the mar- names, and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Lúthien[/name_f] sounds better to me as well. The L to L transition is a little tricky (but not a big deal).

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] nn’s:
Aily perhaps? (All the others I could think of have been suggested!)

I love [name_f]Marina[/name_f] — It feels familiar to me but still much more distinctive than [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] in general. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Lúthien[/name_f] sounds absolutely magical.

I second the nickname suggestions of [name_f]Bee[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilou[/name_f]. I can also think of [name_u]Iggy[/name_u] and [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], although they’re stretchy.

With a middle name starting with L, I’d avoid [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].

With the middle name [name_f]Lúthien[/name_f] I think [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] sounds much more cohesive

I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] better for you! It flows better with [name_f]Lúthien[/name_f] (I feel like the L in [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] and the L in [name_f]Lúthien[/name_f] run together a bit), plus [name_f]Marina[/name_f] has tons of fun nn options that aren’t [name_u]Abby[/name_u], which might be inevitable for an [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] nicknamed…
[name_u]Mar[/name_u]
[name_f]Mari[/name_f]
[name_u]Mars[/name_u]
[name_u]Mina[/name_u]
[name_f]Rina[/name_f]
[name_f]Mimi[/name_f]

if you’re looking for alternate [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] nns…
[name_f]Bee[/name_f]
[name_f]Gail[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] (bit of a stretch but it’s cute!)
