Re: Gail
in reply to a message by A
I used to like it when I was a very small child; I had a picture book I think with a Gail character, or perhaps it was a paper doll, but I thought it was a happy, friendly name. And now, as an adult bored rigid by a planet full of Abigail people, I greatly prefer it to Abby. But, I'd use it as a full name in its own right, simply to eliminate Abby from consideration.
