It's a girls name. Personally I think it's as traditional as it gets with it being a biblical name and having been used in East of Eden.

Without that info in the OP, I didn't know. It's not in the database, and Wiki tells me that it was the name of an obscure saint and a few characters, which to me is not considered traditional. And I meant traditional in the sense of its recognizability, not in its origin. It's so close to Abram that it just seems unfinished, and I still think it sounds like abracadabra.ETA-- Nothing personal, I just don't like the name. Sorry if "traditional" was a hot button for you.

Oh don't worry about it, I just find it really feminine sounding that's all. I don't find Abram recognizable either, just Abraham.

There used to be (still is?) a poster whose son was Abram Paul, so BtN always reminds me of it.
