Oddly enough, two of my childhood friends from my hometown had babies yesterday.

Abigail Nadine "Abby" joined big sister Jessica Marie (2)

and

Cristiano Marko joined big brother Nikolas Joseph (1)

I'd prefer the MNs (Nadine, Marie, Joseph, Marko) as FNs.

I like Abigail, but being in the top 10 detracts from its appeal imo...my cousin has a 3 year old named Abigail Marie.

Jessica and Nikolas (or Nicholas) were so common in my generation that they sound dated to me, even though I know they're still used fairly often.
I think they're okay names; they just seem boring because I know a lot of Nicks and Jessicas who are all in their 20s/30s.

I dislike Christian (in English or other languages) being used as a name.

Abigail and Jessica are so plain so is Marie.

Cristiano is interesting. Marko is too much o though.

Jessica and Abigail are SO BORING. And weird for kids being born today.
I don't like Cristiano or Marko, and I think it's a weird combo. I do like Nikolas though.

Abigail is still in the top 10 in the US but I agree that Jessica seems weird at this point.

I know it's still popular, but I still feel that it's a weird name for a kid today. It feels so dated to me.

I see what you mean. It's also probably my least favorite name of all time. Nothing flattering about Abigail or Abby IMO.
