Hahahahahahahaha, for some reason this made me think it was like...Alcoholics Anonymous introductions or something.

Abner is awful on a girl. Seriously.

It seems really masculine to me.

And lol at the comment above me.

Well, I guess it's also better than making up a feminine version of Abner, like Abnerette/Abnera/Abnerina/Abnerelle/Abnergail/etc.

My sister liked it for a boy. It reminds me of a pig. Specifically the pig from Hey Arnold.

ewwww...there's a pedophile in my area named abner. seriously.

no. thank. you.

i can't get past that long enough to even consider that as a name...lol.

I couldn't picture it on a girl. I have a good guy friend named Abner, and I think that's the only reason I don't hate that name. lol.

Well, Abner literally means "father of light", and I don't love the idea of naming a girl a name that has "father" in it. Why not Abigail for a girl, or maybe something that means "light"?

Abner is a boy's name. (http://www.babynames.com/name/ABNER) Not one I'd choose for either gender.

I'm not adding anything new here, but it seems very masculine to me too.
Maybe as a middle name? Or, if you really want to make it a first name, combined with an incredibly feminine middle name?

Well, I've wanted to be an assassin for hire since about 8, but I've also grown up enough to realize I probably shouldn't do it.

... hint hint.

Isn't that a character on the show Bewitched?
Whenever I hear 'Abner' I think of the nasally voice of Mrs. Kravitz.

No offense, I understand being attached to a name... but I think it's horrible for either gender.
