Abigail and Xander

Abigail


-meaning: father’s joy
-origin: Hebrew
-potential nicknames: Abby, Gail

Abigail is a biblical name. It has become very popular in the past decade or so, cracking the top 10 names in the US. This is why I can’t see myself using it as a first name, but I do love the nickname Abby. Beautiful name with a beautiful meaning.
 
Xander


-meaning: defender of the people
-origin: Greek
-potential nicknames: Xan

BUFFY ALERT! Where did Xander come from!? Well, the name didn’t actually originate from the television show Buffy, but that did help boost its popularity. Xander went from being uncharted in the 1990s to its current spot in the 200s in the 2000s. Thanks Alexander for giving us the uber cool nickname Xander. I think he’s flourishing quite well on his own now J.
