User Comments about the name Abel


Comment left May 13, 2008: "My name is Abel and I hate it. Whenever I introduce myself people say "what?", but it doesn't happen when I use any other name." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Nov 04, 2006: "" I had a twin brother called Abel. He was named after my grandpa on my Mom's side. He was French and it was pronounced " Ah -bell.." or A-bell. My brother didn't mind. I've never met another person with the name. I guess it is still a unique name." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Feb 27, 2006: "don't like kaine (that's how i'd spell it) either!!!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 27, 2006: "My son's name is Abelino, pronounced Ahh-bell-eee-no. It is spanish for Abel, from the bible. It is his great-grandfather's name, and we love it! It is different, and people of other cultures have problems pronouncing it. O-well, at least it is not often heard." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 02, 2005: "My name is Abel, and I've never met another. People spell it wrong constantly (even relatives), and pronounce it wrong fairly often as well. If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked if I had a brother named Cain I'd be a wealthy man (and if I had another nickel for every time the inquirer thought this was a very original piece of wit I'd be twice as rich). My last name is "Winn," so you can guess how often my name was punned on growing up. Yes, bearing the name Abel is a trial, but it's been worth it. I enjoy having a unique name, and I'm easy to find in a google search." (Report as inappropriate)
