Adam

原Adam Richard Wiles, known professionally as Calvin Harris, is a Scottish record producer, DJ, singer and songwriter. His debut studio album I Created Disco was released in June 2007, and was the precursor to his UK top 10 singles "Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls". In 2009, Harris released his second studio album Ready for the Weekend, which debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and was later certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry within two months of its release. Its lead single "I'm Not Alone" became his first number-one single on the UK Singles Chart.

原I think that Adam is a bum name to have, and I think it's over used. Also there's a flash game called Adam's Gay. Just saying.

原The Greek name day is December 10. It is also used in Modern Greek.

原I like the name because I have the name Adam. It also means man has awakened! :)

原Adam Parrish is a main character in Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle series.

原My name is Adam Levi (LEE-vi). I'm not Jewish, but rather Native American. I couldn't have a cooler name. Period. Thinking of naming your son Adam? Just do it. He'll love it.

原To me this name is too boring and reminds me too much of the word "atom" so because of that I'm put off of using it.

原A good name from the Good Book! Note: How could a name that means "man" be interpreted as feminine? Tsk tsk, such perversions of names are becoming all too common.

原My name is Adam and I'm of Polish descent. At first I didn't like it, but now I'm starting to discover all its pros!Adam was once used in Poland as a noblemen's name and it had many excellent bearers such as Adam Asnyk (Polish poet and dramatist), Prince Adam Jerzy [George] Czartoryski (Polish nobleman, statesman and author) and the ever-famous Adam Bernard Mickiewicz (Polish poet, dramatist, essayist, publicist, translator, professor of Slavic literature, and political activist), with whom I happen to share the first and middle name.What's beautiful about this name is that it's technically the first name ever, and it's incredibly widely used all around the world! You can be of any religion and of any descent with the name Adam - maybe you are an Arabian surgeon, a French painter, a Polish scientist, an Australian journalist, a teen living next door, or a dad playing tennis with your kids - the possibilities are endless.If you're planning to travel or move homes a lot it's one of the best names to choose, because its pronunciation is very simple and, as I've said, it's used in many countries.A great thing about Adam is that it fits almost anyone with any middle name / surname combinations. It's one of these names that just suit everywhere.Plus, it doesn't have an obvious nickname, which is good, since not everyone likes certain nicknames.Also, it gives you cool flirting options like "Hey, I'm Adam, wanna be my Eve?" or "I'm Adam and I'd eat an apple if you gave me one.".Aaand it has its own subreddit! How many other names have it, huh?So, all in all, if you're considering naming your child Adam, go for it! Hope that it helps someone.

原Adam is my middle name. I've always liked the name, I think it's a really nice masculine name. It isn't too common of a name either, I rarely encounter anybody with the name Adam where I live.

原I like it, but it's very plain and boring, and sounds like the kind of name you give your kid when you can't think of anything else to call him.

原This is a great, strong name for a boy and man! Don't call him Addie!

原I like this name, it's not too common which is good and it sounds very masculine, but it's bound to become unisex in the future, lol.

原Though this name is a bit plain and used in a lot of languages I like it. I see it as being a nice traditional name that will fit all ages and is slowly decreasing in popularity.

原My name is Adam and my last name starts with a I, causing me to have a cool nickname which is A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). Although I used to be teased and called A-dumb which was okay as it grew off. Adam is also a universal name meaning that it is multi-religion and multi-cultural, so everyone more or less knows how to say it and spell it.

原This is the perfect name. It's short, easy to remember, has almost no spelling variations, and it will give you lifelong alphabetical dominance over everybody you meet.

原Adam Conover, the super-awesome host of the best TV show on earth, "Adam Ruins Everything," is the coolest person on earth and another example of a famous Adam.

原I really really LOVE the name ADAM, maybe 'cause I'm a HUGE HUGE FAN of Adam Lambert :). I would name my first son Adam. Lol.

原It's interesting that this name is sooooooo common in Eastern Europe, particularly Poland, but hardly ever in the Western Europe and the US.Obviously it's a Biblical name and Poland is very Christian, and had a history of Jewish influence, but so did America. Yet, in America, such Biblical names such as Joshua and Seth are very common, but in Poland they're pretty much non-existent. Reversely, Adam and Judyta (Judith) are very common in Poland, but quite unheard of in the USA. Strange...

原The name is also rather common in Iceland.

原Love Adam. Strong Biblical name. Timeless--not dated to any certain decade. Great for all ages toddler through adult. Not a sissy name -- no bullying in school! No nickname needed -- yay!

原My brother is called Adam, he is pretty camp, funny and good looking but I wouldn't say he is strong and manly like some of the other comments say. Also, I don't think I have ever met an Adam like that.

原Adam (no last name) was the primary villain in the fourth season of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He was a human-demon hybrid created by Maggie Walsh, and he was played by actor George Hertzberg.

原Adam is overused though very respectable and decent.

原Adam Hunter, a playable character in the game Streets of Rage.

原I've always liked this name. NOTHING wrong with it. =)

原There isn't anything that strikes me as remarkable in this name, but considering that I am a long-time fan of Bonanza, Adam is one that I can see potential and subtle charm in when used well. It is a tried-and-true name; sturdy, functional, and with a nicely sooty and determined sound.

原There is a character named Adam Ewing in the movie Cloud Atlas. He is a mid- 19th century lawyer who eventually becomes an abolitionist after discovering an escaped slave in his cabin on a ship.

原Adam is definitely in my top three for mens' names. It has such a nice sound. Makes me think of a handsome and talented young man.

原I think it is pretty cool that Adam is a name people use from all over in different cultures and countries. It is very diverse.

原The name Adam is also in use in Georgia.In Georgian, Adam is written as: ადამ. [noted -ed]

原Adam is one of the main characters in the 2013 film, Only Lovers Left Alive, he's played by British actor Tom Hiddleston.

原I no longer have that love for this name after they made a dirty web store called Adam and Eve.

原Adam Gontier, singer / guitarist of Three Days Grace :)

原Nice, simple, masculine name.

原I adore this name, though it's way too common to use right now. It sounds so down-to-earth and kind... I hate popularity.

原American bassist Adam Russell (Story of the Year, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows) holds this name.

原In Greek language, ΑΔΑΜΑΣ means:diamond. In Hebrew: ADAMAH means earth. And God created Adam from the earth. Eventually out of "expensive" soil. Are these words related? Who knows?

原Pronunciation in Slavic languages is AH-dahm.In past in some regions of my country, when the twins (boy and girl) were born, they were named Adam and Eva.

原This name IS common but I love it. It just has this nice sound to it.

原Adam is a nice handsome name, very strong and easy to grow up with.

原Sorry, but this name sounds and looks kinda like A-Damn like you don't give a damn, so I don't really like it, and it's just ugly, I don't even like the sound of it. Oh well.Also makes me think "Up An' Atom". Sounds like Atom: the basic unit of matter that cannot be divided into smaller units, therefore it's the smallest unit of matter.

原It sounds sexy! I love it! ;P

原Well, I always think of sexy Adam Cartwright from Bonanza. Yeah, yeah, he was mentioned, but he needs mentioning again. Most of the Adams I've encountered were nice, well-liked guys. It's a strong name that works on a kid and ages well.

原Prince Adam was He-Man's alter ego in the He-Man cartoons.

原Adam was the name of Samantha and Darrin's son on the 60s sitcom "Bewitched." He was "born" in 1969 and, unlike his older sister Tabitha, did not have magic powers.

原It is a nice name a boy could grow up with.

原My name is Adam, and I personally love the name. For years I hated it, but finally I got older and looked at it objectively and I realized I liked it a lot. It's traditional but I've only ever known a handful of Adams, so I disagree with those of you who say it's too common. Maybe at one time, but it hasn't been on the most popular list for years. It's a good, solid name that was nice to grow up with. I'll probably use it as a middle name for a son, and I'm glad my mother named me Adam.

原Interesting; Adam Young is also a character in the Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman book Good Omens.

原Actually, Adam Young's Owl City is a one man band. He's a serious composer, and has many musical projects. Owl City is just one of them. Personally, I adore Adam Young.

原Adam is my granpa's name, so I consider it a bit dated, but it's still pretty. It's pronounced AH-dahm.

原My name is Adam, and I never was called A-dumb, nor was I ever teased with references to Adam and Eve, so using that as a basis for disliking the name isn't very reasonable; unless your name is Adam and you're speaking from experience. Normally I was called Addy growing up.

原You people! I can't believe you actually like this name!1. A-dumb (nickname)2. Adam and Eve (can be teased)3. It's WAY TOO POPULAR THESE DAYS!Please make it stop!

原American Idol contestant Adam Lambert bears this name. Can't believe no one has commented on him yet.

原I think this is a nice, simple name for any boy! You do NOT have to be religious to use any name so don't let that stop you from picking Adam! =)

原Adam T. Siska, bassist of The Academy Is.

原This name is a very pretty name for a boy. It's a name for a boy who's strong and handsome and grows up to be a romantic gentleman. I had a brother named Adam, but he died at 9 months. I would love to give this to my boy if I ever have one. It would most likely be a middle name.

原Funnily enough, "Adam" is the Turkish word for "man".

原Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790) defined the field of economics as we know it today.

原I think Arabic or Muslim should be added to the usage list, as Adam is a popular name amongst Muslims. It is generally pronounced AA-dem though, with a somewhat longer a sound at the start. The meaning is entirely the same though, and refers to the first man on Earth. (Many Islamic prophets are also Biblical characters - e.g. Isa/Jesus, Ibrahim/Abraham, Marian/Mary). [noted -ed]

原Adam is so plain and boring.

原Adam Ant, famous in the eighties as the flamboyant front man of 'Adam and the Ants' and also as a solo artist, bore this name. However, his real name was in fact Stuart.

原Listen to the German pronunciation of Adam here:http://www.nordicnames.de/Aussprache.html

原The name Adam is older than many of the languages you have mentioned therefore it cannot be origin to these languages (Russian, German, Polish, English, etc.) My research for the name Adam had led me to the Muslim Holy Book "Quran" where the name "Adam" has been mentioned several times. From the Arabic language the name "ÂÏã" "Adam" is spelled and pronounced as in the modern English language today. It was given to the first God created-man. Therefore since the Arabic language is much older than many spoken languages today plus it belongs to the ancient language group of Assyrian and Hebrew, I believe it's worth it to mention it on your web site.

原For the one who said that Adam didn't sound "old-fashioned enough," what about the other Biblical names that were given at about the same time as Adam? There's Eve, Cain, Abel, Seth. In the centuries that pass in the Old Testament, and especially as differing languages developed, of course the naming styles changed! It just happens.

原Also used for boys in Slovenia.

原I think it sounds simple, strong and masculine. And that makes it one of my favourites.
