First Impressions

AI-Written
The name reads as an organized twenty-year-old holding a color-coded key fob. While eighteenth-century history gave the name its start, its actual center of gravity sits in 2003, when about sixteen thousand babies received it in a single year. An Abigail tends to be pictured organizing a shared road-trip playlist and arriving at the gate with time to spare. Generation Z accounts for fifty-four percent of all living bearers, with Generation Alpha taking another twenty-eight percent. The name reached its peak two years before YouTube was founded.
