How do you pronounce my name?

[Steve James]

Ya know, in the states it depends on what happens in the "aha" part of the word. For ex, for last names, it seems we make a very long a sound. It's like 'Graaam." Other times, for first names, the a sound is short. Brits, otoh, tend to put a change in tone, or diphthong, or the h breaks up the two a's.

Should it be pronounced the same way we pronounce Abraham?

[Steve James]

Naw, ime, Abraham is really distinguished from Abram. We always say the ham when we mean it.

The 'heitch' sound is interesting on its own.
