Help[Opinions] hello Logan Glover / Patricia Underwood / Chloe McSwain etc.
in reply to a message by Abbye (Logan)
Abbygaile Williams now, eh? But wait - your profile says Abbyegaile, but here you say Abbygaile. *sigh* You could say anything at all about "your" name at this point, and it'd be just like the grunting of a monkey, to me - because if you're going to lie all the time, nothing you say has any meaning any more.
Now I'm going to hold forth about the names anyway, because that's what this forum's for.
I dislike it spelled Abbye. It looks like "ab-buy," and spellings that don't agree with the way they should be pronounced are distracting and embarrassing for everyone. Similar to traditionally male names on females ... there's always some attention drawn to what is "wrong" or unexpected about the name, and how someone made a mistake. Awkward and bothersome. If I had to choose between going by Abbye (spelled like that) and going by Logan, I'd pick Logan, because Logan is getting more usual on females anyway, it distinguishes from peers if there were a lot of Abbys around, it's pronounceable to literate folks, and people can fairly easily hide it if they're surprised you're not a boy.
