What are the chances that [name]Abraham[/name] will spike in popularity due to the success of the recent [name]Lincoln[/name] film? I guess we won’t know until next year’s Social Security name list comes out, but please speculate for me. Think the movie will inspire baby Abrahams?
No, I don’t.
[name]Abraham[/name] is an extremely old name, and though the trend for using vintage names might make it rise a bit–I don’t think there’s any chance of a great spike.
I think [name]Abraham[/name] will rise, but I don’t think it will become very popular. [name]Lincoln[/name] seems more likely to rise higher because it is the trendier of the two.
This. [name]Abraham[/name] is already a fairly popular name (190’s) but I don’t think it will rise much more.
[name]Abraham[/name] seems much more common in Hispanic families. At least where I am from ([name]Texas[/name]). I already see [name]Lincoln[/name] getting a big boost but doubt it will do the same for [name]Abraham[/name].
[name]Lincoln[/name] will boost, [name]Abraham[/name] will just keep on keeping on amongst the groups that use it now (mostly Jews and Latinos).
I agree. It seems likely to me that [name]Lincoln[/name] is going to get much more popular. I think [name]Abraham[/name] will get a little bit more popular, but I doubt it’ll be the next [name]Noah[/name]. I love [name]Abraham[/name] and wish I could get my husband to agree to it. [name]How[/name] cute would little baby [name]Abe[/name] be? It’s also such a classic name that I don’t think popularity matters quite as much, if that makes sense. I guess I am thinking of the difference between a trendy name (like [name]Caden[/name], for instance) and a classic name that gets used a lot but doesn’t seem diminished by popularity (like [name]Isaac[/name].)
I don’t really think it will become anymore popular than it already is. Maybe a little, but I don’t see it shooting up too high. Like others said, I think [name]Lincoln[/name] will go up, but not [name]Abraham[/name]. At least not much.
Unless a celebrity names their baby [name]Abraham[/name] or it’s the name of [name]Channing[/name] [name]Tatum[/name]'s next character I doubt the [name]Lincoln[/name] movie alone would increase the name’s popularity.
