Name
My first name is Abigail, but people call me Abby. Abigail means”fathers joy” which could mean Im my father's joy and its true. Im his only daughter so I’m his “joy” I guess you could say. Or you could think of it as a religious way, I’m not religious so my dad will do. There are only 2 Abigails in my family, there’s me obviously then my dad’s aunt. I’ve only met her twice, but she passed away about a year ago. He named me after her. My mom on the other hand loved the name when he mentioned it, it was a coincidence cause her favorite character on a show she was watching at the time was named Abigail, the character was a cow. So I guess Im named after a cow and family member in my family, fun.
Besides the fact being named after a cow, I guess I like my name. I don’t really know any Abigail’s or Abby’s. I also don’t know any other redheads named Abby. I’m the only red head in my family, weird. Anyways, I don’t really know what I would change my name to if I could, I’m used to it and I guess it suits me. Only problem I guess I have with it is people spell it wrong. They either spell it as “Abbigail”, “Abbey”, “Abbie” like no. It is “Abigail or “Abby” it's very simple. My mom spells it “Abbie” I have no clue why, I tell her not to but she’s my mother so can’t really do anything. I honestly do get made fun of for it. I don’t get made fun of for the “Abby part” its the “Gail” part in “Abigail” I mean I kind of don’t blame them cause it does sound weird but welp, don’t bother me.
There’s nothing really unique about it, I guess my middle name kind of is well my mom tried to make it “unique”. My middle name is “Jazmin” instead of an S there is a Z. It’s not much of a difference but I mean hey my mom tried, but I give her credit, I like that there’s a Z instead of an S it stands out. My last name is a simple Puerto Rican last name, Im half white half Puerto Rican, so I have no clue where the red hair and freckles came from. Over all Abigail Jazmin R. I guess goes together, well to me it does.
