What do you think of Abel???

[DottieRose]

It's such a beautiful, underused name which both sounds and looks lovely in my opinion however there is one problem.....are you willing and Abel jokes etc. what do you think???? I really love it but just want to get a feel for what the general public think........Tanx in advance.

The world's first murder victim, according to the Bible. Try as I might, I could not get over that connotation personally. I adore Abraham though - now that's a fabulous name. Why did your hubby say no to it?

Dh said no as he thinks it's a watery name and the are you able jokes!!!

A watery name? It's a fabulous, strong, manly name - think of Abraham Lincoln! And it means 'father of multitudes' - how much more virile could a boy's name be?!

I can see that Abel might result in "Are you able?" jokes, but not Abraham. I think you should work on DH and convince him that the world needs more Abrahams!

im not a fan of this one :( id be thinking of the abel security company i see everywhere
