I actually like this name, it’s a great alternative to Abigale, or Abby.

A pretty name. As another commenter stated, this could be a good alternative to Abigail if you want the nickname "Abby". It's definitely on my list, and it's also not too common either.
Abilene is a very pretty unusual name, that could even work for secular parents since it doesn't have a religious meaning. And the meaning of the popular name Chloe also has to do with grass.

I love the Sheryl Crow song Abilene (Abbey-leen) and I have always remembered this name because of it. I like that it's unusual, yet has a well known nickname Abbie, Abby. It is a lovely name and I would definitely use it on a daughter.

I love this name in contrast to lengthy Evangeline. I remember reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is 2nd grade and instantly loving it.
