Elmo or Bram!?

[ryvitamylo]

Thanks!

Bram.

Elmo is ridiculous and I say this as someone who seriously considered it! Thankfully, everyone highlighted it's ridiculousness to me and eventually I came to my senses.

Bram. Or have you considered Braham?

Tickle Me Elmo

Bram is one of those names that seems unfinished somehow, but it's quite snappy. Better than Elmo anyway.

Bram

Elmo is literally a Muppet.

Bram is Dracula.

Neither.

Neither - Bram is it really a name and Elmo is an adorable TOY

Seriously? Fucking hell! 😂😂😂

Oh...

Luuk?

How is Bram not a name?

Luuk

Are you messing op?

what?

please don't call him Elmo. really please don't. Sesame Street is everywhere. It would be cruel (and it isn't even a particularly nice name)

Bram is short for Abraham. I quite like it. My dad grew up in a jewish area and played football with a lot of Bramies.

Just thinking Sesame Street put paid to Kermit as a name too

Bram isn't Dracula. He WROTE Dracula. you are thinking of Vlad.

Elmo is a brilliant name.

For a tiny baby, a puppy, a teddy bear, a car or most other name given inanimate objects.. and a muppet.

But you Cannot give it to a real life child.

Could you do an E name and use it as a nickname?

Bram is also a stand alone Dutch name.

Abraham on birth cert is good
Are you Dutch?

I like Bram although not sure about the spelling. Is there an alternative?

Elmo is bloody awful, sorry!

We wouldn't put Abraham on the BC, as we like the Dutch name Bram. Yes, we are

I like Bram. It's strong and not just for a baby. Lovely name OP

Bram is a bloody brilliant name. I know an adorable little Jewish boy called Bram.

Elmo is a muppet.

Go for Bram.

Elmo is a god amongst the preschoolers. It's not a name you could call one.

I quite like Bram.

OP do you live in the Netherlands? If so, and the name Elmo doesn't make people think of the Muppets, then don't let that put you off (though of course he may one day wish to live in another country where it does)

I think Bram is my fave of the three anyway

(I love how everyone assumes an OP is English and must be joking about name spelling!)

Why would someone ask about baby names on a British website if they were planning on having and bringing up the child in Holland? What would be the point?

And I don't live in the UK.

Well, I don't live in the U.K. either. But I don't see the problem. The OP obviously speaks English, and is interested to know how the names work in the UK.

Unless you're planning on spending the first several years of your child's life someplace where no one watches Sesame Street, you really can't name him Elmo.

Bram will make people think of Bram stoker and Dracula, but also it is a real name that is short for Abraham, so it isn't limited to only those connotations. I actually really like it.
