After reading the description of what your son might look like, Abram sounded too serious. I immediately thought of Seth, Owen, and Beckett.
Good luck,

Since Abram is a form of Abraham, I would definitely assume that he was Middle Eastern or Jewish. I've known lots of Abrahams/Abrams and all of them were Middle Eastern or Jewish. I have a cousin named Abraham who is half Iranian.
I would definitely picture an Abram with olive skin and dark hair and dark eyes. I'd be pretty surprised to meet one with fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes.
If you love the name, go for it. There's nothing wrong with making people challenge their assumptions. :)
It's funny because I would think of Abe or Abraham as being African American and Abram as being Jewish - but only if someone asked me to guess, like you did.
