I quite like Abigail and I happen to really like the nn Abby, which I think is somewhat inevitable. Both Eleanor and Abigail and Ella and Abby sound great to me.

I have never cared for Abigail. I always though it sounded like a bird name. It is becomming popular, and I know a young Abigail. I dislike the nn Abby.

I'd much prefer the nn Nora, for Eleanor instead of the nn Ella. Ella is becomming very popular too. I also know a little Ella (but Ella is the full name).

I like Eleanor and Abigail as a sibset...and the combo Eleanor Abigail. I prefer Ellie as a nn for Eleanor but Ella works. I've always liked Abigail and I do love the nn Abby. (The first time I heard the name Abigail was in childhood, from a character in a book who had a ribbon tied around her neck to keep her head from falling off!)

I really like Abigail; it's nowhere near as popular here in NZ as it seems to be in the US, and I've never even met one, so I haven't had the chance to get sick of it. I don't like Abby either, or Gail, which puts me off using Abigail. Bea/Bee might be cute though.
I think Abigail and Eleanor would be a great sibset; I don't think Eleanor needs Ella though, it stands well on its own. Also, if Eleanor had no nn, then it might be easier for Abigail to not be shortened to anything.

I don't really like this name (Abigail) and the nn "Ella" for "Eleanor" makes the person seem childish compared to "Eleanor" which is a mature, strong, and nice name. -Sorry

sound fine and I love Abigail

Abigail and Eleanor are a great sibset, although I think Abigail and Elanora sound even better. Ella is adorable. I like Abigail better than Abby too.

I completely and utterly despise the name Abigail. I think it's one of the ugliest names I have ever heard, and its present popularity mystifies me.

I've liked Abigail for a long time (but I do like the nn Abbie). It isn't as popular (at least in my area) as it used to be, but I know it's still up there on the popularity charts. Maybe that doesn't bother you though.

I think it's a sweet, pretty name, and that it would go fine with Eleanor. I love Eleanor too; it's one of my favorites. I prefer the nickname Nora though.

I prefer Avigail, just because I prefer V's, and it avoids the nn Abby.

It sounds fine with Eleanor.

Most people would disagree I guess, since Abigail is a top 10 name, but I am not a fan of the "Gail" sound.

I adore it, but it's really trendy right now. Eleanor and Abigail sounds fine.
