Being the son of Avrum I am curious as to the original posting that said
that it was not a legal name for a Jew.  My father and five second cousins
were all named Avrum after a mutual multi-great grandfather.  My relatives
in the Ukraine and Bessarabia were not exactly wild-eyed radicals who would
knowingly violated tradition or bubbe-meinsehs (for the uninitiated those are
grandmother's tales that have basis in fact).

If you think Avrum has problems consider Cain (a murderer), Amnon (an incestuous
rapist), or even David (a usurper, murderer, and adulterer).
