Fabian is not a common name that I hear very often in the States where I live. I mean, it does have a vintage charm from the sound of it, but the meaning is a bit of a letdown in my opinion. :(

I'm trans and this is my chosen name. I think it sounds pretty cool and intelligent without being snarky like other names that can sound kinda stuck-up. Most people pronounce it properly as faye-bee-ann. Some of my nicknames are Fabi, Fabes, Abe, Fab, and Faye.
Coming from someone who has Fabian as a first name, it is nowhere near a good name. It may sound classy, but it is not professional whatsoever. Especially when you’re working in a field where the majority of the race are Caucasian and have normal names like Chris, James or Michael.
As the other comments have noted time and time again, this is a truly remarkable and handsome name that is not overused which fundamentally adds to its charm.
I don’t even know why but this is my favorite name ever! Fabian suits all ages and sort of combines with the word fab(ulous)! It’s a teeny bit boring in a good way, maybe simple is a better way to say it, but for some reason I love it. It is also slightly rare and it complies with my religion of Christianity because of Saint Fabian. Although I dislike the nickname Ian (personally), nicknames could be decided later on! Future says it that for my child’s name, this is a very possible choice!

I am so in love with this name especially the fact that it is the name of my boyfriend. Hearing this name is like music to my ears.
This name is not a bad name by any stretch of the imagination. However, the meaning, “bean tiller”, is not an illustrious meaning by any definition. Still not a bad name, just not my cup of tea.
