Re: Abraham

    I have the same problem with Abraham that I have with several names. Love the nn, not a huge fan of the full name.

    ETA: I'd probably lean more toward Gabriel with Gabe as a nn.

    I normally hate the super biblical names (like Gabriel, which PP mentioned) but I love Abraham!  And like the other PP, I also love Abram (I might like that more).

    I hate it, but I'm clearly the minority. It seems like the name of famous historical people, not a real, living person. A little too overwhelming a name for one kid to bear. Way too biblical, and then you throw Lincoln on it....not my favorite.

    My 19 month old is Abraham John. He is Abe most of the time. It fits him perfectly. Love it :)

    Oldest DS was adopted from foster care and was named Abraham by his birthmother.  It wasn't really our style but we didn't have the right to change it until the adoption was final ( which didn't happen until he ws 4...way too late to change name IMHO).  They were calling him "Abe', "Abram", "Baby" ( he was 9mos), and "Bubby" ( shudder!).  Since he wasn't really answering to any of it, we chose to call him "Bram". Abraham is a classic name but it sometimes seems overwhelming  for a baby/toddler.  I think Abe is a fine NN even though I prefer Bram.
