Oops!! I posted this question under the Boys category, sorry about that!

We are trying to decide on a girl name and cannot decide between the following:

Agigail (Abby) Elaine or Mia Lynn

What do you think, or do you have any other suggestions for combinations? Some people have suggested Mia Elaine, which we like too! Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Abigail and Mia are both long-time favorites of mine. They are lovely but VERY popular right now. If popularity doesn't bother you, either is an excellent choice. But if you prefer a name that isn't as popular, be forewarned that both names are in the top ten.

As for choosing between them...it's a tough call. Personally, I think of Mia as a nickname. I would much prefer to see it as a nickname for Marina or Amelia. If that were the case, this would get my vote because it is a gorgeous name (that's not super popular) with a cute nickname. If you use it on it's own, I'd prefer Abigail because I think it is a little more professional and will serve her better as an adult.

Annie pretty much summed up my feelings.
