You will be able to change your vote.

Don't you wish they gave you a seperate box to type in when you make a poll? I hate that! LOL
Anyway, just wanted to mention that these are just a few of the middle names on our list for Abigail (which we should be shortening considerably - maybe to one? LOL - later this week). Just wanted to get some opinions before we started the cutting process. ;)
I didn't put the more common choices, because I'm afraid people will simply vote for the one they're most familiar with rather than actually considering each name, if that makes sense. Therefore, I realize many of these may not be everyone's style, but we were looking for a Celtic type name (our heritage), especially since Abigail is SOOOOOO popular right now that I'd actually like her mn to be much less so, KWIM? (Her daddy just loves the name Abigail - father's joy - and as long as he has such a strong opinion I don't mind letting him have his way). :)
Guess that's about it! Have fun voting! Your opinions are, as always, appreciated! :)

ROFL! I don't know if I should mention this, nat, but I'm assuming most people will vote before reading the other posts so I will anyway LOL. Soooo ...
You've just named our top three choices (and here I tried not to put the poll in any order LOL). Amelia/Amelie is still on the table, I really like Zaira a lot, and we actually both agree on/LOVE Fiora (I think quite possibly *the* name, as you mentioned). Jason actually liked Fiona a lot from the last list, but said it was "too Shrek" for him (having watched both movies a million times with Kaitlyn). Anyway, I stumbled upon Fiora as a form of Fiona (it can also be considered a form of Flora, so both meanings together would make it "fair, beautiful flower" basically, which I think is pretty) and thought it might be perfect. Of course, I fully expected Jason to veto it LOL. But guess what? I mentioned it to him the other day and he thought it might be just the perfect middle name for her. He said "Ooooh, I really like that ... it's pretty and feminine and even kind of cool." And he's mentioned it a few times since then so I think it's very possible we'll end up with an Abigail Fiora. :) Still have a few names we haven't gotten to discuss, though, so nothing final yet (that's why I wanted some opinions on the names before we sat down and made any decisions).
Thanks so much for voting/replying. As I said, it's always appreciated! :)

Kelli,
Hmmm, guess which one I voted for? Lol, pretty much ditto everything I said in the e-mail. Fiora is beautiful, gorgous, exotic, sophisticated and PERFECT for Abigail/Aila's mn!! And give Jason an extra smooch for being oh-so-wise enough not to nix it :D.
Andrea
I know, Andrea ... Jason really surprised me there! LOL Not only not nixing it, but actually "raving" about it and, apparently, loving it. ROFL I'm thinking that may be the one, but we haven't gotten to discuss a handful of the other newer additions so we'll probably do that later this week on his days off -- and possibly even make a decision here! ;)
Thanks for the input!

Ps. I'm also surprised (and delighted LOL) at how well Fiora's doing "in the polls." Didn't know that'd be a popular choice, but nice to know we're not the only ones who like it!

I voted for Zaira, but Fiora was a close second. I personally think you're better off going with something more unique like those two, rather than Amelia. Abigail Amelia, taken together, doesn't seem to fit your style (at least from what I can tell, knowing your other girls' names and having followed your posts on this one). Abigail Zaira, or Abigail Fiora, now, that's much more like it! ;-)
Best wishes,
Erin
Thanks, Erin. Don't worry, I think you have exactly the right idea here. Those are actually our top three at the moment ... Amelia because we can both agree on it/Jason knows I love it (but I know it doesn't flow as well or "fit" with our style/the other girls' names, so that's why I made this one last list ... thought there might be a more "perfect" name out there for us), Fiora because we actually BOTH love it AND it "fits" (hard to believe, huh? LOL) and Zaira because Jason has always had a soft spot for Sarah, but it doesn't fit with our style, so Zaira is a good fit as well. Plus, since Abigail's so popular, I really like the fact that Fiora or Zaira would be more "hers," if you KWIM. Something more unique to set her apart from all the other little Abigails. ;)
Anyway, thanks again for the input! Always appreciated! :)
