Fabian

[clairehr]

What are people's opinions?

Fabian Isaac

French blood line on both sides and a French surname that this would be a nod to. I know the French spelling is usually -en at the end, but we prefer the above!

Not quite the reaction I was expecting 😂

I love the name Fabian. Is it unisex? I went to school in Europe and knew both a female and a male. Fabien and Fabienne I think? Also a girl pronouced Fabe -ee -an rather than Fabe - ee - en. If youre going to live ober here though i think people will pronouce it as Fabe - ee - en thoygh if you spell it like that.

Fabe - ee - anne i mean

It's Fab!!

I'd assume you were Labour people too.

On the plus side if he becomes interested in left wing takes on obscure areas of public policy when he's older, there's plenty of pamphlets with his name on.

Reminds me of all the middle aged female Fabiennes I know, so it’s a no from me. I do want to love it though, it is a nice name!

I like it but would assume you were socialist.

It would be a good name if he were in arty middle class set up.

@Flomper Yes, Fabienne is the female version of Fabien. And Fabian seems to have evolved as an English spelling.

I love that it's unusual and gives a nod to our ancestry.

Very rarely I click on a baby name thread and love a name. But I love this one (may be biased on the middle name). Fabian is awesome!

I'm not a political bod.

I like the name

Sounds like a naughty kids name too me.

I love it!

I love it too. Sounds arty rather than naughty to me!

Fabian is the German spelling. The name is popular especially in the south.

I really like it. Popular name

My first thought was Fabian Society too.

Beautiful

We're not political either and I would hope that even if that's someone's first thought when they are introduced that it is fleeting once they actually engage.

We've never met anyone with the same name and know of no little Fabians around, plus popularity-wise it's currently around number 650 so not too concerned about it becoming super fashionable any time soon.

Thanks to all who have commented, I'm surprised, but glad that most seem to like it!

My first thought was it's the name of one of Milli Vanilli

Sorry OP it's not a name I like. It feels feeble.

I would assume you're German. Fabian, along with Florian, are very popular boys names in Germany

I don't mind it as a name, but my first thought is still "Labourite".
