What do you think of Abram?

muybueno

Still searching for a name for boy #3. This week's name obsession: Abram.
Brothers are Jack and Simon.

Thoughts on the name?

Love it

I like it, and I think it fits really well with your sibset! Abel and Eli come to mind as similar options that fit well, too.

This is the first time I have seen this name, I guess I am the odd man out because I don't like it.

PP suggested Abel which I like more.

I like it, but love PP suggestion of Eli or Levi

I don't care for it but it's more of a not my style type thing. Kind of like Abraham, I just can't picture it on anyone under 50.

It's interesting, not in a bad way. It's nms but otherwise fine

Love it! Unusual but a real name.

LOVE! This is our top boys name choice, but we still won't get to use it because we're having another girl

Odd man out but I am NAF.

Any other options?

I would be afraid everyone would want to call him Abraham... because the names are fairly synonymous with Abraham being the most dominant.

Love. It was on our long list for a mn, but we went with something else. I would definitely use it if given the opportunity again.

I like it! But, I know an Abram and pretty much everyone thinks it's Abraham at first. So, as long as you are ok with that, I think it is a great name!

Yeah, this is my biggest hesitation. I've started floating the idea to people IRL and I've already gotten a lot of comments/questions along the lines of "Oh, is that a nn for Abraham?" Of course, those of us obsessing over baby names know that it's a legit name, but if most people don't know the name, that's definitely a consideration for me. As someone with a tricky name, I don't want to do that to my kid.

Another good point that a friend brought up- we will likely call him Abe regardless, so it doesn't matter quite as much if he's Abram or Abraham. We might go with the more traditional Abraham.

Also on the table, Isaiah and Ezekiel (Zeke).

I definitely think Abram is the best out of those three and Abe is such a cute nn. Some people might confuse the name but so what..people mess up all kinds of names

I have a nephew named Abram (funny enough he is the 3rd boy, of 4, for my sister in law and her husband). I think it's a great choice.

I like the name but I feel like people might pronounce or spell it as Abraham

I'm not a fan either, I don't know why, I just don't like the sound of it. 
It seems very popular right now too.

Yeah, of the two I'd just do Abraham, and then shorten how ever you desire... That way you don't deal with people making assumptions.

@muybueno I'm not a fan of abram and would go with Abraham if you're planning to call him Abe. But of your other choices, I love Isaiah!
