The only one that I like is Abraham.

Bram is kind of cool, but Abraham sounds like an old man with a long grey beard! I think I am hung up on Biblical Abraham. Abram is OK.
I don't like Graham. It is really dated. In the UK we pronounce it gray-um, which makes me think of the colour gray - boring and old. In the US it is sometimes pronounced Gram which I find weird as it is not spelled "gram", plus Gram is a way of shortening 'grandmother'.

I really like both, they're handsome and calm. I like the way Abraham looks over Abram, but I like the sound of Abram better. I love Bram for a nn. Graham is great in that it has the look of Abraham but the sound of Aram, if you will. Gram looks odd, like someone wanting to be different by spelling it phonetically.

I prefer Abram to Abraham, and Bram to Abe. But I wouldn't use any of them.
Graham is always two syllables where I live, so Gram makes no sense to me at all. Which might not be logical, in view of my preference for Abram, but so it goes. I like Graham enough to use, probably only as a mn because there are names I like better.

Bram is cool but I dislike the rest.

My grandson's name is Abraham nn Bram.
I totally love it. I advocated for it in the face of my former son-in-law's initial reluctance. Abraham has such Old Testament charm and Bram is Bram Stoker cool. Abram is okay, but I prefer Abraham.
Graham I'm not really fond of, just makes me think of sweet crackers, and Gram is what I called my grandmother when I wanted to shorten the more usual Grammy.
