[name]Just[/name] looking for some opinions and general thoughts on the name [name]Bram[/name]?
It’s becoming a bit popular, but not overly so. I like it a lot. You could also use [name]Abraham[/name]/[name]Abram[/name] nn [name]Bram[/name].
I think it’s suave and continental, with a dark edge imparted by [name]Bram[/name] Stoker. I don’t think it’s at all popular, contrary to pp; still very uncommon.
The one I know ifs real life is a gentle, interesting, very intelligent guy who works as a pediatric emergency room doctor.
It reminds me of [name]Bram[/name] Stoker, which I [name]LOVE[/name]! Not a fan of biblical names, so I don’t care for it being a variation/nn for [name]Abraham[/name], but that isn’t a deal breaker for me. It sounds handsome and strong.
I lOVE [name]Bram[/name]. I’m currently preggo with a daughter, but if/when we have a boy he is definitely getting the name [name]Abram[/name], nickname [name]Bram[/name]. I think it sounds tough, as well as being a meaningful Biblical name.
Never met one in real life but I think it’s a nice name. It has some history too it so though it’s unique it doesn’t feel trendy or weird.
I like it.
I think it’s a great name, it’s simple and straight forward, but still unique and would stand out
I was a little worried about the “dark” image it has. I’m not too concerned about the connection to [name]Abraham[/name]/the Bible, because I mostly associate [name]Abraham[/name] with [name]Lincoln[/name]. I like [name]Abram[/name] too. [name]Do[/name] you think it’s too “gothic” or evil sounding? I liked [name]Damian[/name] for a long time too and had to give up on it because people just wouldn’t let up on the Omen thing.
Of the three names you were considering, I was leaning strongly towards [name]Bram[/name]. Then I started to hesitate because I can imagine him being questioned fairly often about whether its a nickname. THEN, on third thought, I realized – in his case – he can just proudly answer that [name]Bram[/name] is a Dutch name and will not feel like he got a nicknamey formal name. I like [name]Bram[/name]. It’s a very nice, strong name. It’s easy to pronounce and spell. And it is meaningful for your family. Go for it.
I am biased with this one because my ten month old is named [name]Bram[/name]. Not short for [name]Abraham[/name] or [name]Abram[/name] or [name]Bramwell[/name] … just [name]Bram[/name]. We do get some weird looks every once and awhile (i.e. "you mean you named your child after the author of “Dracula?!?”) and mispronciations (i.e. [name]Graham[/name] or [name]Brom[/name]), but for the most part, the name has been very well received. I think it fits my son well. We call him Brammie or Brammer as nicknames for fun.
DH is Romanian and we met in Romania, so the name [name]Bram[/name] had extra meaning for us. The character of Dracula is based on the Romanian ruler [name]Vlad[/name] Tepes, so the name came full circle for us.
I prefer [name]Abram[/name], which you could nn [name]Bram[/name] or [name]Abe[/name]. But, still a cool name standing alone as it is.
I don’t find it too goth, not at all. It has a little rippling edge to it due to [name]Bram[/name] Stoker, but that only spices it up.
I am not 100% sure if I like it or not theoretically I don’t mind it but on my son I probably would not use it but go for something short and similar like [name]Brent[/name].
rollo
I really like [name]Bram[/name]. There’s a [name]Bram[/name] in my math class, and he’s very intelligent and athletic. [name]Bram[/name] Stoker does give it sort of a darker edge, but I don’t think it’s too Gothic or anything. I see [name]Bram[/name] as versatile, perhaps because of the [name]Bram[/name] I know? [name]Bram[/name] actually feels a bit earthy to me, and I think it would be a good match with [name]Rowan[/name].
