I've liked the name Abner for a girl since I was like 8.

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

Abner is awful on a girl. Seriously.

[djador.livejournal.com]

It seems really masculine to me.

And lol at the comment above me.

No, just no. Please.

oh i think its kind of cute. and abby could be a nickname...

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. That's worse than Faygen and Furtis!

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

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

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

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

YES! I remember that!

[rainbowpookie.livejournal.com]

I like it. It's unique.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

So is Fnwirwjaifna, but would you name your kid that?

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Weird. Any reason why?

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

omg That's sooo cute. :P

[rainbowpookie.livejournal.com]

It's not really comparable. Abner is much easily pronounced than Fnwirwjaifna. Abner is also a rather popular Amish name. I am not sure what Fnwirwjaifna is. Quite possibly it is deemed as pretty in some cultures.

[rainbowpookie.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't name my child Fnwirwjaifna because I don't really like this name. If I liked it, I would surely consider it.

[pinkslit.livejournal.com]

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.

[in-the-starlite.livejournal.com]

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.

[pinkslit.livejournal.com]

the comic strip "little abner" has a pig in it but i don't know it's name.
the cartoon "hey arnold!" has a pig named abner.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Isn't the one from the Garfield cartoon Abner too? Or did I just make that up? Off to wikipedia...

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Fnwirwjaifna is a popular French Canadian name amongst the drunk.

[devofriends.livejournal.com]

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"?

[nearlyalegume.livejournal.com]

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

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

It means "beautiful delicate flower with barbecue sauce on the side".

[djador.livejournal.com]

lol

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

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?

[satunian.livejournal.com]

Seconded...
