[Opinions] Abigail
Thoughts on Abigail? Is it too common? Too old fashioned?

Quite common and old fashioned but it's one of those names that wear well. I don't think you need to worry about it being too old fashioned because it still works as a "modern" name especially if you make use of nicknames.
I wouldn't say it's too common anymore. It seemed pretty common for awhile there in the 00s. I loved it as a teenager. It was one of my top girl's names for years and I would've used it. I guess I got bored with it, helped by how much I was hearing it by the time I was having kids in the later 00s, and it sort of fell off my radar since then. But I do think it's a very sweet name. I know plenty of Abigails who are my age (about 30). It feels youthful, but ages well. I think it has a pleasant old-fashioned feel to it.
Honestly I never cared much for this name. Also maybe it's because I don't really hang out with little kids that much but I don't seem to hear it a lot even though it has been in the top 10 for several years now.
Is it common, not as much as it was 10-15 years ago...
It is old fashioned, but in that way that will be cyclical. It is a classic with many good namesakes.
I really like it.

it's okay. It's definitely popular, and it's old but since it's been very fashionable for maybe 20 or so years, I wouldn't call it old-fashioned.
It's a bit heavy and fussy for my taste, though again, it's an okay name. I much prefer Abby.

I love Abigail. I love Abigail, Susannah, and Elizabeth together.
