Abraham?

lnicky

So my DH and I have talked/joked about naming our first son Abraham since we were dating.  Eight years later we are faced with actually have a child to name!  We are team green, so there's only a fifty % chance we'll use the name, but my DH really really loves it!  I'm not so sure.  I like it, but I'm worried that our families will think it's weird.  We do live in IL, but I don't know if people will think it's unique, or it will remind them of Abe Lincoln.  He would be Abraham David.  What do you think?

I know an Abraham, who has gone by Linc his entire life.

Abraham is a great name?not weird at all. I actually think of Abraham of the Bible before the president, but have you considered Abram?

I like it!  Abe is a cute nn.  I'd consider it except I'm trying to find a name that is not easily nick-namable.

This.  My neighbors recently named their 2nd son Abraham.

Good, strong name. I also think of the Abraham of the Bible. Love the nn Abe. I also like the suggestion of using Abram...similar, still unique, and just a bit shorter.

I love it ! I have a cousin with the name Abraham Farris (7 yrs old). He goes by Abe. Love the nn Abe, and I never ever thought of Abe Lincoln Lol. He also has a brother named Solomon. Good strong classic names are hardly ever used anymore, go for it!
