Abigail means "my father is joy." It is from the Old Testament, "...and his wife's name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman" 1 Samuel 25:3. As an English name, Abigail first became common after the Protestant Reformation and was popular among the Puritans.
Marie means "of the sea" or "bitter." I prefer "of the sea."
I love the name Abbie because all the Abbie's I've seen depicted on television were strong, intelligent women.
She was named Abbie after Abbie on NCIS:
and Abbie from ER:
She was named Marie after my paternal grandmother. Her middle name is Marie:
She was born at 1:22pm on September 26, 2010 at OU's Children's Hospital. She weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces and was 18 inches long.
She was beautiful. She looked so much like me, and her little brother looks so much like her. She had her daddy's cleft chin. She had my family's eyes. She had my hands, my long skinny fingers.
God, I miss her so much. I would love to see who she would be now, at 3. Her brother is giving me a run for my money, I can only imagine she would too, and I'd love every second of it.
