Abram is great and not at all common. Daniel is just too hackneyed and needs to wait another 30 or 40 years to be recycled.
Reuben is my 2nd choice.
Good luck. You’ll be sure of your choice when you see his wee face

Only like Daniel.

I like Abram. It's a bit epic like the sort of name a Warhammer character might have.

Reuben is okay.

Daniel is fine but very common...

Daniel is the only one I like.

Abram is okay but I think I prefer just Bram. Reuben is popular but always feels hillbilly to me.

I love Reuben.

Daniel is ok. There are a lot of them around. I can think of around 6 at my DCs small primary school. I don't especially like the shortening Dan but most seem to go by the full name. If I were choosing an angel name I prefer Gabriel and Rafael.

Abram - I haven't hear of it. I'm not particularly keen. Is it an alternative spelling of Abraham? I think I prefer Abraham.

Abram because I once knew a Bram who was great.

I actually love and have considered all 3. I think Abram is great. We're going for Bram as a mn for this baby. Great taste OP!

Daniel

Elouera · 17/02/2020 21:14

Daniel 1st- although popular a few year ago

Reuben- reminds me of Paul Reubens, the actor that was arrested due to public masturbation and porn theatre.

Abram- sounds very religious and like another poster, just not a finished name. Abraham is even worse though IMO!

Literaryseed · 17/02/2020 21:13

Daniel. Not keen on the others.

Charis1503 · 17/02/2020 21:13

daisypond · 17/02/2020 21:10

Daniel by far.

helpmum2003 · 17/02/2020 21:08

Reuben then Daniel both great names.

Abram is a long way down for me.
