Yet ANOTHER kre8tyv spelling. The "gay" part doesn't bother me, but this is a bit out there. But, I will admit, it added something that Abigail doesn't have...

Even more hideous than Abigail, like Abi”GAY”le? Seriously?

This kid is going to have to say ‘It’s ABIGAYLE not ABIGAIL’ to so many people.

Usage of this name peaked in Ontario, Canada, in 2005 with 31 girls being given the name. By 2013, it was being used for less than 6 girls a year, as it no longer appears in public records. https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/ontario-top-baby-names-female/resource/0c4aec56-b2b8-499b-9739-68ab8a56e69a

Seeing as all biblical names are transliteration of another language, there is no real “correct biblical spelling” in English. I say, you do you. The spelling of ‘the’ was also just decided randomly from the spellings that were in use at the time spelling conventions were implemented. I would go for this spelling as an honor to both my mother and my sister who both have Gayle as their middle name.

This is my name I love the spelling and I think it’s unique and not basic like literally half the names out there and never once in my 20 years have I EVER had someone point out the fact that my name has “gay” in it. I often get compliments on it and personally I think Abigail looks awkward and weird and very basic. Who would want a name that a large portion of the female population has? Some of y’all over think the name too much.

Oh come on, you’re just asking for your daughter to be teased at this point.

These comments are mean, my name is Abigayle and I love the spelling compared to Abigail. My parents chose it so I could have a more unique name.

Why? Why not just use Abigail? This is such a terrible, over-the-top spelling. Plus, a girl with this name may get teased for the "gay" part.

Pronounced the same way as " Abigail. "

Abigayle? Well, first of all it looks way too over the top. And you don't need to butcher the spelling. I suggest if you want a more unique spelling you could use Abigale or Abbygail, which look better (in my opinion) than this so called "Abigayle."

This is my sister's name, and my parents spelled it this way because they wanted her to have the same number of letters in her name as mine. They didn't want to spell it crazily (like Abbygale), so they used this. She goes by Abbi during the school year and Gayle during the summer. I like this spelling.

What a butchered spelling and it has the word 'gay' in it
No thank you...
The name is fine, but with a different spelling. Honestly.

Abigail isn't that hard to spell. This spelling makes no sense.

This is a really odd way to spell Abigail, but I personally would use it because I love the name, and Gayle is my grandmother's name, so it would be a nice way to honor her.

No offense, but I find this version ugly, and weird. I wish people wouldn't go screw up name like this.

I couldn't agree more with you. It's an ugly spelling of a beautiful name.

My name is Abigail and when I found out that some people spell it this way I found it rather hideous. Now, one of my very good friends is named Abigayle and I call her Abby-Gay-Le. She thinks it's funny and doesn't really care since we both just go by Abby and she has other less-than-cute nicknames for me.

I don't think anybody would like the 'gay' in this name.

Why not FairyGirl? Not everyone is simple or homophobic.

How does not wanting people to make fun of your name make someone 'simple or homophobic'?

I used to dislike this name greatly, mainly for the reason of bad associations, but also for its commonness. However, when I came across this spelling, I thought it gorgeous! "Abigayle" is, to me, much cuter than the origional "Abigail", which I myself would never use, and tolerably more modern and pleasant.

This is an absolutely horrible spelling of the lovely name Abigail. To me, misspelling a Biblical name is like deciding one day that the word "the" should be spelled "thuh" or "thah". One of my best friends is named Abigail and I don't think she'd like to see her name spelled this way.
