Basil

I love the sound of Basil, the UK way: "BAZ-il" Bram is great too, but it feels more nn-y. If Bram were a nn for Abraham then it would be a closer call. I'd still go with Basil, but it would be harder to get there.

I have a nephew named Basil, however, it's pronounced the French way, Baz-EEL.He's such a nice person, one has to like the name!

Oh BAZ-il definitely...I don't like the sound of Bay-sil.I'm not really into Abraham or Abram. I'm like that about alot of names...I prefer the varients and diminutives. DS is Liam instead of William. I prefer many names that are derived from Elizabeth, i.e. Elsie. Thanks for the feedback!
