[Opinions] Re: Abraham and Graham
in reply to a message by lakin5
Bram is kind of cool, but Abraham sounds like an old man with a long grey beard! I think I am hung up on Biblical Abraham. Abram is OK.
I don't like Graham. It is really dated. In the UK we pronounce it gray-um, which makes me think of the colour gray - boring and old. In the US it is sometimes pronounced Gram which I find weird as it is not spelled "gram", plus Gram is a way of shortening 'grandmother'.
