I’ve known of Fabian for years but only recently started to really like it.

What do you think of Fabian? Any associations?

fabian and ingrid go perfect together! personally not a fan of the name bc it’s dated where i live (just like oscar) but i believe people are staring to use it again!

plus i really like that fabian & ingrid have kinda the same ammount of popularity

[name_u]Love[/name_u] love love [name_m]Fabian[/name_m]! It’s on my own middle names list but unfortunately my husband has a negative personal association with it :frowning_face:

I think it’s strong and sensitive and sophisticated sounding, and it travels well internationally – exactly the same qualities I love about [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]. They’re wonderful together.

Thank you @vida @Greyblue @rubylark @krijesnica & @katinka !

I’m not sure if Fabian is the name yet but I like the soft and intelligent sound of it and the connection to the Fabian society…
It would be very sweet to call my son “Fabulous Fabian” :heart:

[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_m]Fabian[/name_m], yes :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

I’m biased because I’m a huge -ian name fan, but [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] is so fun and spunky. It has a lovely, international sounding like [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f].

I love [name_m]Fabian[/name_m]! Used to know a really lovely guy called this too. How do you pronounce it, as I’ve heard it said with both long and short “a”?

@LouC Nice to hear that you love it. I pronounce it with a short a. When I pronounce it Finnishly it’s “Fuh-be-ahn”, Englishly it’s a bit more like Fah-be-an. Not a huge difference though.
