Help[Opinions] The rise of Abner in 2020
I was surprised to see Abner ranked #971 in 2020, after 80 years not being in the chart.
I like it. It has a somewhat nice meaning.
Thoughts? What middle name would you use? What would you name a brother and a sister?

I didn’t know it had a rise. It seems really old. I can’t only think of the pig on Hey Arnold.

Neat! It's similar to Asher, Ezra, Abigail, so I guess it makes sense for it to become more popular, but personally I'd use Elmer or Absalom for a kid before Abner.
I named a duck Abner once.

It fits in with a lot of short, old-fashioned biblical names that I wouldn't use: Dinah, Esau, Enoch, Ephraim, Boaz.
...Edna, Ethel, Vashti, Nessa, Inga, Zelda, Zora, Odelia, Noga, Noemi, Syntyche, Ursula, Sabine, Evangeline, Penelope, Georgette...

I like Abner too, but its kind of dated. I'm not sure why this name came back and others did not.
Abner Josiah
Abner Goliath
Abner Reynold
Abner Joseph
Abner Christian
Abner Washington
Abner Hendrick
... Most of those sound very..religious. But I can't think of anything else.
Abner and Mae
Abner and Dorothea
Abner and Virginia
Abner and Susanna
Abner and Lily
Abner and Amanda "Mandy" (This one is completely offset, but I like it for some reason.)
