That makes sense. I can see how it would be easier for you that way. However, the -e on the end doesn't make any sense, even though it's taken from the e on the end of your name. It makes it seem like it would be pronounced A-BIE or Abb-ye. Abbey would have the same effect as making it easily identifiable, and it would make phonetic sense. There's also Abi and Abbie. It's really the seemingly superfluous -e on the end that makes me think it's selfish, because it does make phonetic sense.

Also it's not easier for people you only meet fleetingly or that kind of thing. I think if I were you in a lot of cases, if I were asked my name I would say "Abbye" or "Abbygaile" and not correct them if they spelled it wrong. Not necessarily school, maybe.

I know a lot of girls that go by their middle names too, and I think going by Logan would prevent a lot of the Abby confusion, though I don't like Logan on a girl very much. Of course, I wouldn't refuse to call a girl Logan "Logan" if that was her name, even though I consider it a boys' name - that's silly.
