Woman named after pop group Abba always gets asked if it's real

Inspiration from baby names can come from all sorts of places. For one woman's parents, it came from their love of a legendary musical act.

It was her dad's love for Abba that gave this woman her unusual name. Born in 1983, Abba Flint says she's never met anyone else with the same name as her and she is often asked whether it is real.

Speaking to the Mirror, the mum-of-two said: "If I had £1 for every time someone questioned my unique name, I'd be a millionaire. My father got to pick my name and he wanted something different. They were fans of the band and he thought it would be awesome to call me Abba.
