[Opinions] Re: Abel
in reply to a message by Nyx
I love Abel. I don't think the Biblical connection is a bad thing, Abel was "the good brother" after all.

Oh, I know. I was just wondering if people thought it was "too Biblical" if that makes any sense. :)

I don't think its too Biblical, its rarely used so isn't very common. I have heard people use Cain or various spellings of Cain way more often and all I can think is "you named your kid after a murderer?" so I much much prefer Abel.
The only problem that I can see is the Able Abel confusion. I suggested it too my husband as a possible name for our baby and the first thing he said was " are you able Abel?" which vetoed it for us.
