I gave this name to my 5th son, he is Adam John. It is such a solid boys name. He is 5 1/2 and loves the biblical reference to his name. He often gets the nickname Addy, and I don't know of any other boys named Adam.-- Anonymous User 4/25/2006

I don't like this name too much. A strong name but I can't put my finger on what I don't like about it.-- sarah11 8/9/2006
I can't believe this was the first human name ever, it doesn't seem old-fashioned at all compared to other biblical names. Anyway this is the name of my brother-in-law's brother, well stepbrother. People with the name Adam like to be silly but are funny.-- corrielover 8/10/2006

It doesn't say in the Bible that Adam was his name. Adam means "man" and that's what the Bible said. God created a man, but never gave him any name. And then it has become Adam.-- honungspinglan 1/7/2007

For the one who said that Adam didn't sound "old-fashioned enough," what about the other Biblical names that were given at about the same time as Adam? There's Eve, Cain, Abel, Seth. In the centuries that pass in the Old Testament, and especially as differing languages developed, of course the naming styles changed! It just happens.-- RedGyl 8/26/2007

One famous bearer of this Adam Gontier, the lead vocalist for Three Days Grace. Whenever I hear this name, I always think of a very masculine, good-looking man who's very deep and complicated.-- Katkittycat 12/22/2007
The name Adam is older than many of the languages you have mentioned therefore it cannot be origin to these languages (Russian, German, Polish, English, etc.) My research for the name Adam had led me to the Muslim Holy Book "Quran" where the name "Adam" has been mentioned several times. From the Arabic language the name "ÂĎă" "Adam" is spelled and pronounced as in the modern English language today. It was given to the first God created-man. Therefore since the Arabic language is much older than many spoken languages today plus it belongs to the ancient language group of Assyrian and Hebrew, I believe it's worth it to mention it on your web site.-- barmil 1/2/2008

Adam is so plain and boring.-- jasmineenimsaj 2/15/2008
I think Arabic or Muslim should be added to the usage list, as Adam is a popular name amongst Muslims. It is generally pronounced AA-dem though, with a somewhat longer a sound at the start. The meaning is entirely the same though, and refers to the first man on Earth. (Many Islamic prophets are also Biblical characters - e.g. Isa/Jesus, Ibrahim/Abraham, Marian/Mary).

This name is a very pretty name for a boy. It's a name for a boy who's strong and handsome and grows up to be a romantic gentleman. I had a brother named Adam, but he died at 9 months. I would love to give this to my boy if I ever have one. It would most likely be a middle name.-- _0TophasNails_1 11/27/2008
Adam T. Siska, bassist of The Academy Is.-- Mitsukai 12/7/2008
