If you like this name and want to use it but are conserned with the negitive connotations why not name the baby Abcden (Ab-sid-e-en) so that it looks more like a "real" name and call her Abcde for short ?

Or you could not.

Please for the love of god don’t name your child this. It may sound unique and cute when they’re a baby but what you’re doing is dooming them to a lifetime of bullying and teasing. If you like the pronunciation maybe spell it differently. But for the kids sake don’t name them Abcde.

Personal experiences with the name Abcde

Please don't name your child this. When I see this name I automatically think "this parent doesn't care about their child". I'm a pre-school teacher and this year I have a little girl in my class with this name. Unsurprisingly, she is teased by other students and doubly unsurprising, her mother is always late to pick her up and smells strongly of smoke. Do not condemn your child to a name that will never look good on a resume, that will be mocked for their entire life, and that screams "I thought it was more important to make a cute joke than give my child a name that would not make them miserable." If you are even considering saddling your child with a name like this, you should be ashamed.
