Hmm, this is my name and my thoughts on this are its lovely!

My best friend was obsessed with Abigail when we were teenagers so I got pretty burnt out on it. She always wanted to use Nancy Abigail (to honor her mom, Nancy).

No offensive, but I find the name kind of drab. Its the Abby part that sounds childish to me. its really cute, but i think that a name is not for me if I prefer it's nicknames over it, such as Abby and Gail.
I absolutely love Gale/Gail. Its uncommon and underappreciated. Abigail has all of the praise that she desires. I can understand its importance as a biblical name, but I'm not crazy about it.
It goes well with other old names, but there are a few that don't feel outdated:
Abigail Hermione
Abigail Jade
Abigail Jane
Abigail Grace
Abigail Jasmine (I'd use)
Abigail Rose
Abigail Ariadne
Abigail Lauren
Abigail Delilah
Abigail Julie

---

Diana Abigail
Rachel Abigail
Michaela Abigail
Christina Abigail (I'd use this one, its gorgeous)
Araminta Abigail
Gracie Abigail
Elora Abigail
Jasmine Abigail
Lillian Abigail

There’s nothing wrong with Abigail but I don’t like it that much. Abby as a nickname is fine.

I'm really no fond of it and never have been. I was surprised when it became so popular, and especially when Abby became the nn of choice - drab, flabby Abby. I far prefer Gail, but as an independent name. Wouldn't use it, though! But I'd like to meet one.

I like it with nn Gail as it’s unexpected and fresh.

I have never liked Abigail. The Gail part is just very unattractive to me. Abby / Abbie I tolerate but it isn't my favorite or anything, it's one of the rare names where I prefer the shorter diminutive over the longer name legally.

I like it as a whole, but don't like the nn Abby or Gail (any spellings of either). So, keeping Abigail as Abigail:
Abigail Claudia
Abigail Wilhelmina
Abigail Bianka
Abigail Lavinia
Abigail Deanna
Abigail Odile
Abigail Theresa
Abigail Zanthe

Beautiful

Lovely
