Shouldn't it be Abby May Alcott? Lou Sander 01:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Or even Abigail May Alcott, to give it her full name. I agree. Calliopemused 23:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I also vote for a title/name change-- needs Alcott in the title! KathrynHKlos2 (talk) 17:26, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Article title
The article title (currently "Abby May") conflicts with the name by which she is referred in the article ("Abba"). What happened here? --Midnightdreary (talk) 18:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I see, too, that a similar discussion was brought up a decade ago (see above). Would love to see some folks talking about this and come to consensus on the best article title. I will respectfully bow out and let others with greater knowledge take it from here. --Midnightdreary (talk) 10:59, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

It looks like during her lifetime, she was known in the family and to friends by both Abby and Abba. It looks like Abba came into more prominent use after the birth of her youngest child, Abigail May Alcott who at first was known by both Abby and May but then May as she got older. Many biographes do list her as "Abba." In fact when I've had need to google her online I usually put "Abba" in first. I propose using Abba May or Abba May Alcott.

I agree that the page should be titled Abigail May, or Abigail May Alcott. How do we change it? 205.201.21.118 (talk) 22:15, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
