This is for potential baby number 2. I love it and think it goes well with our first son's name but DH isn't sure and would rather a 'proper name' so I am trying to work out what it could be short for.

So far I have got Abraham/Abram or Bertram. Any other ideas at all?

Bran is from GoT, it is short for Brandon in the books.

I like Bram and Bran Smile

MotheringShites · 08/01/2014 19:15

Isn't it another GoT name?

YoMamma · 08/01/2014 19:13

I think it's great. I would go with Abraham.

DancingLady · 08/01/2014 19:10

I like Abraham, and Abe is a nice nn. Bram ok but not as nice...

TalkativeJim · 08/01/2014 19:08

Grin just Bram Stoker. No need for the a.

TalkativeJim · 08/01/2014 19:08

Yes I know one, short for Abraham, very nice and I wouldn't have said unusual!

Also a Bram Stoker.

Bram Stoker?! He of Dracula, it's an ok name, neither love it or hate it

DawnOfTheDee · 08/01/2014 18:57

Makes me think of Stoker/Dracula but I think that's a good thing.

I really like it. Smile

I've met one, who I think is Belgian.

SS3J · 08/01/2014 18:56

It was Branwell Brontë, but could still work. I quite like Bram on its own actually. I think it's cool.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 08/01/2014 18:55

Really like it, don't know any but like it lots. I'd probably go with Abraham but any of the options are nice.

NotJustACigar · 08/01/2014 18:54

Not sure why it matters that the name goes well with your first child's name? That said, Abraham isn't bad.

Rosa · 08/01/2014 18:54

I would think you had said Pram!

OhCaptainDarling · 08/01/2014 18:53

I know a Bram, but his mothers Swedish if that makes any difference?!

Bowlersarm · 08/01/2014 18:53

Bram Stokers real name is Abraham, if that helps.

Frikadellen · 08/01/2014 18:52

Braham
Bramwel
Bramley

Kinda cool on its own though.

However I think people will make Dracula comments ( Bram Stoker)

kelda · 08/01/2014 18:52

It's a germanic name in it;s own right.

Chottie · 08/01/2014 18:51

Sorry, but a big no, it just makes me think of Bramley apples......

It could be short for Bramwell (Bronte)
