In my experience some of the most cruel and meanest people are those who claim to have God in their lives. I'm sure Jesus would be ashamed by their lack of love, caring and empathy toward others, especially those less fortunate than themselves.
Cute however, Abba is a Hebrew word or Aramaic word that just means the word: Father, or Oh Father.
Abba would be a respectful though informal word for father even as papa could be used.
Abba a term of endearment but Not a proper Name.
The Tetragrammaton (YHWH) is never applied to Abba.
Old KJV has God's personal name in English as found at Psalm 83:18 B
Mar 14:36**And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
Rom 8:15**For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Gal 4:6**And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Gal 4:7**Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
The point is to progress past the fear and bondage
