Just wondered what people thought of the name Amos. My two other sons have religious names (although we are not religious) so I thought maybe I should choose another religious name.

Other ideas are
Casper
Elliot
Elias
Rowan

Opinions or other suggestions welcome!

Many years ago when I was about 13 I watched an episode of an American tv drama with my DM - she was hooked on it, something like Law & Order. There was an older male character that I thought everyone kept referring to as anus. I said to my DM, wow, that's harsh, why is he known as anus? She looked at me blankly and replied that it was because it was his name. It took me a looooonggggg time to work out that the name was Amos. So whilst I happily admit I may be the only person ever to have made that mistake I thought I'd put it out there just in case!

Elliott and Elias are my faves although im a sucker for a E name!

Amos feels a bit fuddy duddy to me.

All others on your list are lovely names. Casper is my favourite. Elliot is quite popular now. I know a newborn called Elias but never met one before.

I prefer Caspar but I love Rowan (I like the spelling Rohan).
