A boy named Sabe. WDYT?

How would you pronounce that?
I don't like it.

Sah-bey, I think...

It's also the name of one of Padmé Amidala's handmaidens in Star Wars (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/sabe/). Oh dear.

Seems more like a nick name than a proper name.

I like it.

What, is it a nickname for Sabriel?

Definitely works best as a nickname, I think.

I used to know a man named Sabre (as in -toothed tiger, no kidding). His friends sometimes called him Sabe for short.
