I love it with Eliezer

---

My MIL used friend pairings in the Bible - David and Jonathan for her son, which I think is a bit clever. I do like Abram. Abram and Eliezer were very close in the text (and I love the name Eliezer).

With the brothers you have listed, I like Abram...but as a name, I love Bram. Yes, there's the Bram Stoker thing, but I don't think the connection is overwhelming.

---

Abram I'd stick with the biblical/hebrew references- Ezra, Ruth, Susannah, Eve etc.

---

Bram would be more flexible- biblical names like Ezra/Ruth/Eve, but also "jazz" names like Art, Chet/Chester, Etta and older european names like Adele and Tilda, Linnea...

---

I love it.

---

Abram is much better than Abraham for a child, IMHO. Abraham's a great name, and I like it a lot, but it's pretty outdated. Jonas and Tobias are also great, and Laurence and Peter are slowly growing on me.

Personally I prefer Abraham, because that is the name God gave Abram after he changed it. I also think Abraham fits better with your other names.

Very nice, and I like Abraham as well.

I think both Abe and Bram are cute nn's, and Abram fits great with your other faves.

---

With Abram, a few ideas are:

---

Abram & Levi (my fave, I think)
Abram & Jonah
Abram & Thaddeus
Abram & Micah
Abram & Malachi
Abram & Jude
Abram & Paul
Abram & Caleb
Abram & Samuel
Abram & Joktan
Abram & Zephaniah (Abe & Zeph)
Abram & Issac

---

Abram & Naomi
Abram & Mara
Abram & Deborah
Abram & Lydia
Abram & Judith
Abram & Eva
Abram & Miriam
Abram & Leah
Abram & Tamar
Abram & Tabitha
Abram & Ruth
Abram & Keturah (then again, maybe not)
Abram & Abigail
Abram & Zara

I really, really like Abram. I prefer it to Abraham, which I think is a little too much.

Siblings:
Aviva

Vincent

I wouldn't use it but it's a fine name, and it fits very well with the other names.

Abram is wonderful. It's been a favorite of mine for years. I'm not good when it comes to sibling-pairing, but it does go quite well with your other favorites. :)

I really like this name, it's short & strong and a little more manageable than Abraham. Abram John or Abram Tobias would be awesome combos

Sorry, but the image of a tank is too ingrained in my mind. :-(

---

This might not fit the style of your other names (which I adore, by the way) but Avram ("AHV-rahm") sounds lovely to my ears. Or even Bram, like Mr. Stoker.

I think it fits quite well with your favourite boys names. Are you looking for girls names to pair with it?
Abram Leander
Abram Benedict
Abram Raphael

Possible sisters: Mehitabel, Lillian, Hannah, Eleanor, Paloma, Elodie, Shoshana, Noemi.

I really like the name Abram. I was in the Lounge and had read your one survey that you like the name Allan. I know they start with the same letter but I think that Abram Allan would sound so adorable. IMO.
