Some people are just determined to use nicknames! I really like the name
Abby, by the way. It's one of those nicknames that I like as a full name too. I remember when I was younger my parents had friends with a daughter named
Emma. They used to call her
Emmett for fun. I think it started when she was about 5 and got her all cut off because she wanted to look like
Maria from the Sound of Music. Her parents started introducing her as their son -
Emmett. She didn't mind and it was kind of cute. However if they had started calling her that from the day she was born I would have thought it was very odd.
