Life is complicated enough without imposing this on someone.

Was it a typo of Abaigeal?Because Abaigeal is the Gaelicization of Abigail.

Well, now that is a possibility because her middle name is Maeve.... It definitely wasn't a typo but maybe an inadvertant mis-spelling on the part of the parents and not a creative touch??
That kind of makes my day.... that maybe they just accidently mis-spelled.... kind of sad that ignorance would please me, huh?

That is horrific. What the hell is the point of spelling it like that??? I'm baffled.

I don't care for the name at all so it doesn't even bother me much. Abigail looks weird and rather unattractive to me as well. Of course I'd rather see Abigail. Oh and I would pr. this more liek ah-BEE-ah-gail or something.

I don't care so much for the name, it's just the creative spellings in the name of being different that kills me. I mean why not name her Abigaia if you want something different. I do not, for the life of me, understand a person who uses a mis-spelling to be different instead of, GOD FORBID, actually taking a couple weeks out of the 40 that you are pregnant to come up with something better than a mis- spelling.

There's no way in hell you'd get me to say Abigail for that. It looks like Abbi-a-gee-ul. Abaigael I can see how it should be Abigail, but wth?

It doesn't matter how they spell it; she'll still be Abby. Nothin' wrong with Abby, but if you're going to love a popular name, embrace it. Don't pull a kre8tyve spelling out of your ass and act like you're original for using it.Of course, there is always the chance they just liked this spelling more than the original...and as a Rachael, I should be more sensitive to that sort of thing. Heh.

I couldn't agree more about this Abby. I wouldn't feel bad, Rachael is at least a conventional spelling of the name. It isn't as if your mother named you Raychill or anything.
vote up1
No, but Raychill would be AWESOME.Should I change my posting name? That's really starting to grow on me. :)

Just chill Raychill.. Not everyone can be as original and cool as Abiageal!!hahahaha!!!

Abiageal is the popular girl in fifth grade who wore Keds and had slap bracelets. Raychill is the poor girl who made her own "slap bracelet" out of construction paper and glue-on sparkles.Ahem, not that this happened to me, or anything. *blushes*

Slap bracelets? Are you serious! OMG!!!!!!! That was a trip in the way back machine. hahaha Haven't even thought about those tacky things in a billion years!And so what if Abigail with the kre8tiv spelling had one, she may be "like, so cool and trendy" but you are a classic and timeless Rachael!

Aw, shucks. Thanks for the compliment. :)
