I think it is safe to say that Abe was never named Abramham Lure, as I doubt the people who name them make up complicated ones. Espcially a last name, which kind of doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the Industerial world for Mudokons.
It isn't safe to say that because we know for a fact that that was his name. If you had the art book you'd know that too.

The fact is that Abe was originally envisaged as a free mudokon fisherman (thus the 'Lure' surname). The name was dropped when OWI decided that it would feel more significant if he started the story ignorant of his spiritual heritage.
