What is Abbott's name?

The name Abbott isn't exactly a common name. It's quite different and unique and when I was younger I struggled a little with it because it was so different. It wasn't that I didn't like my name, its just that people always found a way to complicate it either with the spelling or the pronunciation. Whenever I told someone my name, they would spell it as 'Abit' or 'Abbit' or something else of that variation. Conversely, whenever I wrote my name down, they would pronounce my name as 'Aboot' or 'Abut.' I always wished for a nickname so that I could avoid this complication, but the closest I got to one was Abbott the rabbit or Ab-Lounger (the 30 minute ab workout). 

 I don't have a remarkable story about how I got my name, I was simply named after one of my dad's closest friends (by the way his name was Abbott). I've never thought much about the definition of my name, which means the head of a religious community of monks living in a monastery, because I don't really that definition is important. I don't really think my name defines me; I believe my morals, actions and character are what represent who I am, and my name is just what all these things are attributed to. I believe that how I am perceived or remembered isn't by my name, rather by the things I've done or the way I've acted towards a certain person. 

The "two" Abbott are the Abbott at school and the Abbott out of school. The Abbott out of school is extremely goofy and funny. I mean you probably couldn't hold a conversation with me without both of us laughing in tears. This is because I've known my out of school folks for a looong time, and I'm comfortable with looking crazy in front of them. However, the Abbott in school is passive, not as funny (but still pretty funny), and a lot more serious. Frankly, I don't know why I have these two different sides, I guess it's just that I don't want to overwhelm people when I first meet them. I like to keep things "normal," until I get to know someone well. The biggest dilemma that comes from these two sides is when my school friends meet my out of school friends and I don't know which side to use in the conversation. Usually when this happens, I try to separate both friends, and talk with them individually, and if that doesn't work, I just slowly and kindly walk away from the conversation.
