Elinor, this post is just ticklin me to death! I thought I was the only one to like
Abilene, and then only because I'm in Texas; and the other Texan posters seem a might embarrassed by it, but I'm embracin it wholeheartedly.
Abilene is like a hick combination of
Abigail and
Jolene, to say nothing of the fact that it's also a hick Texas town. Plus she'd need a twin sister named Daisetta! Another hick Texas town, you see. I'd call them
Abby and
Daisy, one would be fair and the other dark, and they'd sit on the front porch at twilight and charm all the cowboys goin by in their pickups.
Oh, almost forgot to add, it's definitely AB-i-leen. No other way ever, I don't care what anybody tells you! :-)
And they'd have brothers named Houston,
Austin, and
Dallas. ;D
