Abraham?

[tvmum1976]

What do people think of the name Abraham (nn Abe)? I really like it, but is it too much? Also, and sorry if this is too demanding but if you hate it, could you mention a boy's name or couple of names that you do like so I can see if we just have different name styles/tastes or if it truly terrible!

Thanks very much.

Like it a lot but prefer Bram as nn, not Abe.

thanks! DH likes Bram too but for some reason i don't like it as much. not sure why.

Love Abe! Also like Art.

It is quite a strong name. Just makes me think of Abraham Lincoln really. I think for me it is an old man's name but if you like it, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I love it. This has been top of my list for a while. I also love Abel

Love it but prefer nn Bram or Abram!

We are going to call DC3 Abe if he is boy! I love Abraham but our surname is 3 syllables and starts with A so would sound a bit too much! Also like Seth, Elias and Jobe.

I absolutely love Abraham - I would go for Abe as the nickname too. It's in our top 2 or 3 at the moment.

I think it is a strong yet kind sounding name. Much like Joseph.

Lovely name.

I also love Solomon, Joseph, Jeremiah, Josiah..

I met a man called Braham once.

Love it

thanks everyone! nice to hear so many positive comments.
delilah88- braham? sounds a bit too close to graham for my liking!

Bram Stoker wrote Dracula, just so you know!

I like Abraham and Abe. Might be a wee bit of a mouthful maybe? That's he only only slight hesitation I would have. Abrham is long and abe v short and thereks not much in between.

Other names I like are Leo, Joseph, Milo, John, Dominic.

It's a bit much for me...and I generally like OT names....do like Abe though..

You and your DH can have different nicknames for your DC! My Mum and Dad have an Alexander who gets Sandy from Mum and Alex from Dad.

Abraham is a lovely name - strong, classic and masculine! And not overused! Abe is a great nickname, but Bram is good too. Why not wait and see?
