Abraham

Good solid, charming masculine name.. sure this name has great pleasant meaning as Father of Multitudes. Yeah it's an old fashioned name but it's a bit weighty for newborn kids. I am NOT saying it's a horrible name. It's one of my favorite baby boy name on my list. The association of this name with former US president Abraham Lincoln is positive aspect, and tired to see Braham jokes...

I like this name and think this name will be very mature for a child growing up. If you think this name is too long then I suggest you can use Abram since they have partial similar meanings.

Can work well on a man of any age!

In Hebrew it is pronounced AH-bra-ham. I usually love biblical names, but this one is a little bit on the nose, like Moses. I’d love to meet a little Abraham, but I don’t think I’d be brave enough to use it myself.

Good name. May be a bit ancient sounding, but he could go by Abe.

I kind of like this name, but it does sound quite ancient. I also can't get over the fact that it has 'bra' and 'ham' in it. Childish observation, I know, but it's still there.

Classic charming boy's name!

I love Abraham for a name. It's a timelessly strong classic with a beautiful meaning (which is: “father of a multitude of nations”), as well. I also really like the sweet and simple nickname, Abe.
Abraham is one of the most respected figures in the Bible, as he is admired for his unwavering faith.
President Abraham Lincoln is another infamous bearer of this name, as he is one of the most (if not the most) revered and beloved US president, especially for his act of abolishing slavery.
Overall, I think Abraham is a beautiful name.

God bless you.

I love it! Classic boy's name!

Geriatric sounding.

Well my name is Abraham and I like my name. I am not smart neither am I strong so all of you are wrong.

This is a wonderful name and it ages extremely well. It works just as well on a baby as it does on an old person.

A bit dated, but still a classic name. Good to be named after Abraham Lincoln. Also Abraham from the Bible was a good man as well.

I like this name but I think it has gotten a little old now.

Very good Jewish name.

As some other commenters said, this name reminds me of Lincoln. Racist people may not like it if it reminds them of Lincoln, but I wouldn't want my kid to hang out with racist people anyway. I like this name because of Lincoln, and if you are thinking about naming your kid Abraham after him, I would say "go for it."

I know, right! I hate it when people use this argument to say that Lincoln wasn't a good person. Land was already stolen when Lincoln was born and it isn't his fault. He really was a very good president and you can honor him by naming your son Abraham!

This name makes me think of an old Jewish man.

I like the name Abraham. It reminds me of Lincoln, who was a pretty good man, and definitely one of the best presidents of America. I mean, I know that Americans are just descendants of the colonists who stole the land from its respectful owners and have nothing to do with America, but still. He was quite nice. Also the nickname Abe seems cute to me.

This name is growing on me, reminds me of the president.

Charming and sweet.

I actually like this name, even though I am an atheist and it is such a well known name for Christianity and maybe Judaism too. But it sounds very noble and handsome to me. Also, you won't have to worry about little girls named Abraham too.

I really dislike this name. It just sounds very dated and bluntly unattractive. I also feel that it only can work if the family are very religious or are straight-up Amish. Abram and Bram are far better alternatives.

FYI, Abraham is a very masculine and strong name. I like it very much. If I had a friend named Abraham, I would call his name for no apparent reason, just because. CHEERS.

Old, odd, and too dated.

I don't like this name. It sounds way too cheesy, stuffy, could easily be teased as "bra ham" or, "A bra"
I picture an "Abraham" on one of those overly formal butlers or personal assistants, British accent included.

Sounds like someone who thinks he's better than everybody.

My Name is Abraham and it's pretty awesome.

I like this name because it is international and multi-faith, plus it has the association with our nation's greatest president. I would use Abraham is a middle name.

If a name has to be associated with someone, who better than Abraham Lincoln? What an incredible man.

Well, it's steeped with history, and we all love Lincoln, but honestly I cannot picture it being used in the modern world.

I love the name Abraham. Yes, it may sound ancient to modern ears but what is old eventually becomes new again. "Old people names" have been coming back for some time now. I would totally use this name for a son, I love the Biblical reference. He could go by Abram if he ends up being shy about having a different kind of name, or if kids tease him about having a ham bra. I could see Abraham being one of those names that someone grows into and everyone eventually loves if they don't at first.

I quite like the sound of this name, but in Dutch an Abraham is a 50 year old man, so I wouldn't ever use it.

A great, underused name with a lot of Old Testament charm. It deserves to be more widely used.

Why does this name sound so damn Mormon to me? I swear, I can just see an Abraham surrounded by hordes of wives and children. It sickens me. Though I do admire Lincoln for his work. The biblical character, however, I do not know, as his existence has not been scientifically proven.

I think it's a very pretty name.

Because of Lincoln, this name doesn't sound overly Biblical, but it's very old-fashioned and a but pompous regardless. Even the nickname Abe sounds old-fashioned. Sometimes names do become popular after decades of, how should I put this, stagnation, but I doubt this is one of those names, so it might sound a bit pretentious on a kid today.

I remember the man who loved God so much, he was willing to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. Both are manly, amazing, underused in my area, names.

This name is underused and it would be cool if was used more. I don't think I'll call my son this, but it is still a cool name. I really like the nickname "Abe".

I like this name, but would never name anybody this. Good pet name.

Though this name makes me think of Abraham Lincoln, I still kind of like it. I like the nicknames Abe and Bram for it.

This name makes me think of tall, skinny, theater-going men that wear stovepipe hats and get shot in the head.
