As someone who works in a children's library... kids LOVE pokemon. I don't think it's ever going to go away at this point.liniki13 said:I didn't think kids even liked Pokeman anymore. Lol
As for the name itself it's not my favorite but it's also far from the worst I've seen on here. What matters is that you love it- if you do, go for it! - Loading the player...

I dunno about Pokemon, or biblical (nonreligious, myself) - but I do read a lot of sci-fi / fantasy and play a lot of video games, and the name looks like it would be from one of those sources. Not necessarily a bad thing, as hubs and I were trying to choose book character names for our own LO, but it does look like the names we were like 'oh.... What about that character Abra Sydelle? that dude was badass....' And then immediately after shaking our heads - 'no one would know how to say it, and it sounds a bit like renegade elf or something'. Which again, I would be 100% behind, but only after I had you pronounce it for me, and tell me the back story about how Abra the renegade elf saved the peoples who had shunned him by battling the demon lord long enough for the hero of the story to complete the spell that would send the demon lord to another dimension, and while Abra did fall in battle, the families that shunned him planted a tree in his honor and stuck his sword at the base.... You get my drift? In that sense, I would consider it an awesome name, but would need all of that other stuff to realize its awesomeness first. (Whatever Abra did that was so biblical you named your kid after him)
Also, I can't tell if it is for a boy, or a girl.
It flows fine, tho, once you told me how to say it.
It may be that there is a regional or cultural significance here that we are missing as well. Its entirely possible that in your immediate circle there are plenty of Abra's as its a commonly chosen name among that people group. If so, then of course they would already know the significance and pronunciation, and it wouldn't be a thing at all.... -

I've never heard of either name so I don't have an opinion really, but I think it flows well, if that's more what you were looking for!
Well you needed to specify it here so I guess I was assuming that would be a common experience for you and child... That is what I mean by hard to deal with....I had a last name that no one ever said right and it was beyond annoying and embarrassing at times as a kid (and pronunciation shouldn't have been too difficult).....But you seem to like it so it doesn't really matter then.
Sorry you had this experience. My name is Lindsey and people would mispronounce that, along with my very simple two syllable last name. I guess not everyone learned basic pronunciation rules!!

Others here have stated my opinion on the specific name. Though it sounds like you don't actually want opinions...
Not a fan
