Thoughts on Abe?

[2weekstochooseaname]

As a stand-alone name?
Can't use Abraham as it doesn't work with our surname. Love Abe though!

Pronounced Ayb? Or Ab be?

Pronounced Ayb to rhyme with babe

It would be unusual but nothing wrong with that :)

I really like Abel nn Abe 🥰

I love Abel but not Abe

How about Abel or Abram instead?

I know an Abe. Cute name. I also like Abram.

It's awful.

I like it, I like short names. I'm sure a lot will ask what it is twice to confirm ( I get that with my sons unusual short name)

Also like Ade !

Just makes me think of a game called abes odyssey which had a weird alien looking guy.

I know a Gabriel nn Abe. It's a bit of a stretch, but works for him.

Quite like it. I like short names for boys.

I love Abraham. I'm trying to think of surnames it wouldn't work with but I can't think of any apart from Lincoln...

It's a no from me. I don't like Ade either.

I don't understand why the OT names are so popular.

It feels a bit tacky to start off with a shortened form of a name, without ever committing to the full name that it shortens. Also, Abe sounds very American. Makes me think of someone like Homer Simpson's dad -- trousers pulled up almost to the armpits, shambling and ridiculous and dull-witted.

no.
and abe is not an OT name.
find something else.
imagine saying it over the phone, how tedious a life-time of repeating, spelling, explaining,
find something else.

My friend has one. He's just Abe, it's not short for anything. I quite like it.

I love the name Abel too

I just think of that weird PlayStation game called Abe’s Odyssey. Abe was a weird alien type character that farted

Love it! One of my DC’s middle names is Abraham but I love Abe

I love Abe.

Haha @alexgdr8 so much aggression!

I have an Abe, it suits him really well and he seems very happy with his name too. Never been teased about it, and he doesn't get asked to spell it out.

@oneandabean 😂 I actually thought of that, surprised someone else did too haha

On a serious note... Abe is not that unusual and it's not offensive. It's better than some names I've seen on other threads.
If you like it OP then go for it 😊

Sounds like Ape. Lifetime of having to repeat himself and spell it out. It’s a strong no from me.
