I like this name; it has very sophisticated, pleasant vibes. It also makes me think of an artistic type of person c: The two people I know of who bear this name are Bram Stoker (author of Dracula) and Bram Gay (English trumpet player).
Bram (rhyming with Sam) is nice. I like it as a nickname for Abram (AY-Bram). Bram is medieval and gothic, and Abram is modern and ancient (from Abraham) at the same time. What's not to like about these timeless names?
Dracula by Bram Stoker was one of the first classic books I read (I was around 12). And I loved it very much. So Bram reminds me of my love for books because of the link with Stoker.I also love gothic names and it is strong even if it is a nickname.
My son's name. He's one of the 50 baby boys named Bram that were born in the US in 2012. It suits him perfectly. I love it.

Bram is cool - it's great to find a cool-sounding name like this with a lot of tradition behind it, as opposed to some new-fangled soap opera choice or borrowing somebody else's one-syllable surname. Great pronounced either way.

I think Bram is a wonderful name! I prefer the Brahm pronunciation, however there are some that pronounce it Bram like Sam. Either way I think it's a good strong name.
I adore Bram – especially after reading his masterpiece ‘Dracula’. Whether it’s short for Abraham or Abram (which I prefer Abraham) it’s a nice nickname, and also wonderful by itself. Also, it has a lovely gothic edge to it. (:
I like this name, it's short and strong; a good name for a boy. It's quite popular where I live (Holland) but people mostly use it as a name on itself rather than as a short form of Abraham. My parents used to call me "Brammetje", a pet form of Bram, before I was born and they didn't know yet if I was a girl of a boy.
