How do you pronounce Bram?

My husband and I are in a little debate over the pronunciation of [name]Bram[/name]? I said [name]Bram[/name], rhyming with [name]Gram[/name]. He says [name]Bram[/name] as in " Braum". [name]How[/name] is everyone else pronouncing it?

rhyming with gram.

I’ve been saying it like [name]Gram[/name] but honestly I kind of prefer Braum -> cutting down on what could be a really awful a sound in [name]Gram[/name] (seriously add some [name]Fran[/name] Drescher to the name and it freaks me out - like the ultimate name test. lol.).

Rhymes with “gram.” “Braum” sounds odd.

I say Braum

I’ve only heard [name]Bram[/name] as rhyming with “gram,” same A sound as in “bran.”

Rhymes with [name]Gram[/name].

I say it [name]Brahm[/name].

Me, too. :slight_smile: I love [name]Bram[/name] pronounced that way, but I really dislike [name]BRAHM[/name]. :frowning:

rhymes with “gram”

I always picture it to rhyme with MOM or PROM. I suppose it could rhyme with [name]GRAM[/name], too.

I would rhyme it with [name]Gram[/name]. I don’t think it’s meant to sound like that but I think it’s the way it would be said in Australia (where I live)

Braum/[name]Brom[/name] is how I would say it. As in [name]Bram[/name] Stoker…it would be totally weird to hear his name pronounced like [name]Gram[/name]!

I’ve only ever heard [name]Bram[/name] Stoker pronounced rhyming with [name]Gram[/name]. Which makes sense, since it’s a diminutive of Abraham. I thought it might be a regional thing, so I searched online and I could only really find it pronounced this way in relation to [name]Bram[/name] Stoker.

[name]Brahm[/name] is a variation of [name]Bram[/name], but the more common (UK, Dutch, pretty much most of Europe) pronunciation is like [name]Gram[/name].

I say it like Braum, but it could go both ways.

  • [name]Athena[/name]

This is what I was going to say! It’s how his name is with a European accent, it has a soft [name]AH[/name] sound. So I prefer the [name]Bram[/name] rhymes with prom sound.
