What do you think of it? It's my favorite boys name. If I ever use it, his name would be Abram Michael (MN after my father) and he might have the nn Abe that we would use occasionally.

I like the name Abram, but I do prefer Abraham though.

It has really been growing on me lately. I adore the nn Bram and I think Abram is gorgeous on its own. Very dignified and handsome yet not stuffy or toö much for a kid to handle and it has a great history and lots of awesome name sakes.

Abram Michael is great and Matteo and Abram would make a lovely sibset :)

I love Abram right now. Abraham is way too much for me, Abram is 'just right'. And Abe is cute for an occasional nn. Abram Michael is also a nice, handsome and balanced combo.

Abram Michael is a great combination! It sounds good, and even though it runs, it honors well. Good choice!

Abram is handsome. I wish it were used more. Michael is fillerish, but I'll let that slide as it's a family name. Have you considered using Bram as the nn? I prefer that to Abe.

I can't personally warm up to Bram, I guess because I can't stop associating it with "bran" (not that there's anything wrong with bran!). And also "Sharon, Lois, & Bram", and OLD kids' show that was on Nickelodeon. They were obnoxious. :b

Love it! Sooo handsome, works well on a baby and an adult, classic and timeless, not overused. I'm not a fan of Michael but since it's a family name there's nothing wrong with it. I really dislike the nn Abe. It seems so old man to me.

I love Abram. I love Michael too, but Abram Michael runs together.

Are you saying AY-bram or AH-bram? I love both and can never decide which one I like best.
