| 436.1 | Abra ... a bra? | AYOV10::CBARR | | Wed Sep 06 1989 10:12 | 6 |
| Never heard of Abra before. Might be the brunt of some rude
names at school ie a bra!
As I said, haven't heard of it before...bit unusual but the main
thing is if you both like it it doesn't matter what others think.

It may be important to the child! The "A bra" and "Abracadabra"
jokes may be a bit much for her. Especially if she turns out to
be a sensitive person.
Unusual names are OK, but ALWAYS consider the child.

| 436.3 | I've heard of Aubra | SKIWVA::FSCNO | | Tue Sep 12 1989 13:05 | 6 |
| I had a great uncle whose name was Aubra (pronounced Ahh-bree).
Its a very old name and one of those that is for either sex, i.e.
Frances-Francis, Leslie-Lesley, etc. I think its very pretty and
may not get as many wisecracks as Abra.

| You might want to consider spelling it Aubrah or Abrah - it doesn't
look as much like A Bra. Though I do agree with the others, she would
get hassled and that's important to think about. My cousin's name was
spelt Debra and though the names very common - she got teased in
grammer school just because there was BRA in her name. Her parents
were shocked when she started to spell in Deborah for awhile. Debra
does look prettier and she uses that spelling again, but she was sensative
as a little girl.

| Well, after all the head-scratching over ABRA, we have a son, whom we
have named BEN. We hadn't even considered the name until we saw him, can't
explain where we got the name. But it suits him just fine.
Thanks for all the advice.
