Depends on the surname.
Abel is nice but people are usually known by firstname surname, so if your surname is Bodie or Seaman or something it could seem silly.

Also, Abel is a semi common surname so it could be confusing

Icklepup · 28/12/2018 16:58

I think it's nice.

Tobykins · 28/12/2018 17:02

I just think Cain and Abel from the bible. It sounds quite religious.

I like Alexander.

Abel Alexander Harwood is his full name I love it just curious on what others think

Reminds me of a grown man who is a Mormon preparing the horses for construction of a house. Not a very babyish name IMO. But you do you!

I like it. It works. Congratulations.

JollyGiraffe · 28/12/2018 17:46

I love it! Great name. Sweet for a baby, but would suit an adult man as well.

Congratulations on your baby boy!

CrimpBrunette · 28/12/2018 17:47

Really love it!

Haworthia · 28/12/2018 17:48

Love it. Abel is really solid but unusual and I love the alliteration Smile

I don’t pronounce Abel as Abel now, I pronouce it Ah-bell, after working with refugee children. I actuall love Abel as Ah-bell though and would consider it for a boy.

AdelaideK · 28/12/2018 17:49

I like it

BikeRunSki · 28/12/2018 17:50

I like it. Nice combo of unusual and well used names.

Sophronia · 28/12/2018 17:53

I really don’t like Abel, Alexander is lovely though

17caterpillars1mouse · 30/12/2018 08:32

I really like it. There was an Abel on the postnatal ward when i had DD 2 years ago. It struck me as a lovely name. Congrats
