The character I am considering naming
Bram is of English and Scottish descent. The character I am considering naming a variant of
John is of Irish descent.
I am wondering about
Bram being used as a pet form for
Abram as I believe that
Bram Stoker was actually named
Abraham (I could be wrong) and only used
Bram as his pen name. Is it possible though that others used it and it was only considered to be borne by
Bram Stoker because he was the first popular individual to use it?

Ramona. 'I named her after my aunt's car.'
The class began to laugh, especially the boys.
Ramona felt confused, standing there in front of twenty-eight boys and girls who were all laughing at her."
