So this is what I lay awake thinking about a few nights ago:
"Abby.
Aaaaaaaabby.
Ayyyyybby.
Abbeeeeeeeeee.
Ab...bee.
A...bee.
Abb...eee.
A..b...e.
Abbbbbbbbby.
I HAVE THE STUPIDEST NAME EVER."
On a related note, after high school I worked for a Korean man who pronounced my name A.B. Yes, like the first two letters of the alphabet. And then I had a college professor who had, I'm assuming, NEVER heard the name Abigail before in his life, despite it being a biblical and popular name. The man could not pronounce it to save his life. So I begged him to just call me Abby (most professors just stuck with your given name and didn't care about your stupid nickname).
Also, in reference to the title of this post, here is what I get from every single person who has ever written me a letter or email for the first time:
Dear Abby,
Oh my gosh! I didn't even realize the connection between your name and that old lady who answers questions! How funny!
Every. Time.
Aren't you glad you waited for this?
