Bram

Rhymes with ram / bran

My name is Bram, so I figured I would throw my opinion in the discussion. My name is pronounced Bram, as in it rhymes with Gram. I can't stand how some people pronounce it like it is Brahm, or Brom, if you will. It originates from Abraham, so it kind of seems obvious to me. My parents biggest concern was that it sounds childish, but I am in my late 20's, and I love my name still. I haven't met another Bram yet either, which is my favorite aspect about my name. I also like how it is already a nickname, so no one shortens my name.

I've always said Bram to rhyme with Bran. Like the trio Sharon, Lois and Bram.

Is this pronounced "Bram" (rhymes with ram) or "Brahhhm"?

Bram is fantastic! It sounds warm and friendly, but the connection to Bram Stoker gives it a darker edge too. It's unusual, but easy to say and spell. Great name.

I love Bram! I like it as a nickname for Ambrose

I'm really loving this name:)

Bram and bran are pronounced differently. Bram is "Brahm," while bran rhymes with gran.

So Victorian Gothic. I think of Bram Stoker when I hear this name. I have no idea what Stoker looked like, but I imagine him like a Byronic hero prominent in Victorian literature, like Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre.

I don't think I've ever met a Bram, which is a good thing because I hate common names such as Chris or James. But it does sound a lot like bran.

Bram sounds like a Southern boy like Beau, I'd never think gothic when I hear this.

Love Bram and Bramwell. Very substantial as nameberry notes, despite it being one syllable. It does have that nice gothic edginess while also being soft, strong, and comforting sounding, like bran muffins.

i love the gothic feel of Bram. It just takes me back to reading Bram Stoker's Dracula. I wish I was brave enough to use it!
