My issue with a lot of the names on your list is that they are too nicknamey. In the cases of Abby and Janie, I would name her Abigail or Jane, and call her Abby or Janie. It will just seem silly when she is an adult called Abby or Janie- she will never be taken seriously.


  • Abby - Abigail nn Abby is nice. *very* popular, but sweet
  • Alison - I like this, although it does seem a tad dated
  • Janie - I LOVE Jane nn Janie. Feminine, classy, and uncommon
  • Kylie - Dated and cutesy- dislike
  • Paige - Nice

  • Jane nn Janie is my fave, then Paige, then Abigail nn Abby, then Alison, then Kylie.

    I dont really care for any of the choices, nothing wrong with them, thats just my opinion, but Kylie is the one I would pick if I had to pick one.

    I agree Jane is much better, you can call her Janie when she's little, but she can grow into Jane. Kylie and names of the like will be definitely dated and too cutsey.

    My vote went to Paige, however if the choices Abigail nn Abby or Jane nn Janie were available my vote would have been cast in that direction.

    I can't see Abby or Janie being taken too seriously as adults, though Abigail and Jane are lovely. I would avoid the super-nicknamey names, or else use more formal forms of them and call her by a cute nickname, so that she's not pigeon-holed so much as an adult. Paige got my vote, BTW - it's quite nice.

    I would really feel bad for any adult woman named Janie - remember, babies grow up to become adults


    Abby by itself is do-able, although I still think Abigail is better - but Janie is not do-able - it's too babyish sounding
