Sibling for Amos

I'd love another name that is unusual but traditional. I do love biblical names but it doesn't have to be. I'm generally a big fan of marmite names... Here are our current lists but we don't love any of them right now:

Rufus
Andrew
Axel
Fraser
Barnaby
Vincent
Sylvester
Xavier
Isaiah
Malachi
Errol
Artemis

Esther
Gwendolen
Iris
Angelica
Jasmine
Lucille
Sylvia
Emmeline
Pearl
Penelope
Constance
Viviene

All suggestions are most welcome!

For a girl, Holly or Abigail (based on dhs friend who has three, one Amos and two girls of those names).

I like Edward to go with Amos or any of. the Ed- prefix names, Edward, Edwin, Egdar, Edmund.

DH's uncle Amos has Rami, Nira and Amir as siblings, but they're probably a little bit too biblical for you. His brother Amos has Gabriel, Yuval, Dina and Uri as siblings

Aside from names actually in our family, Aaron came to my mind immediately.

I love Aaron but DH says it looks like we couldn't be bothered to look through the name book. He's so mean :( Incidently he loves Edward.

Was also going to say Seth!

For some reason Ruth also popped into my head, although I think there are more beautiful names already mentioned here.
