Comments for the name Abe (1)

President Abraham Lincoln was known as "Honest Abe."

I think Abe only works if you're tall, were the sixteenth president of the US, and tried to free slaves. Well, it would work fine as a middle name!

Abe has another origin, which is Jewish. It is pronounced as two syllables, and is from Aramaic 'abba' (father) which was used as a first name in Talmudic times instead of Abraham.

Can also be pronounced "Ah-beh" in Japanese version.

Abe is the name of the grandpa on The Simpsons.

In Jean Ure's novel 'See You Thursday', Abe is the blind musician who Marianne, the main character, falls in love with.

I prefer Bram as a short form.

I really think this name is a refreshing alternative in a sea of Aidans, Jaelins or Kadens today. It is classic, strong, comfortable and interesting. I like how it can grow with a person. Excellent choice for a name, especially as a nickname for Abraham.

This name is way too close to "ape". I certainly wouldn't want to be considered with something as primitive as that.

I think it's kinda handsome on the right guy.

I like the name. It sounds like a person who is really tough and strong.
