Please can you suggest some boys names for me!

my favourite by far is Amos but as our surname ends with a S it doesn't really work :(

I also Like but wouldn't use:

Walter - Someone would end up shortening it to Wally!
Nelson - Same as above but with Nelly.
Rowan - Don't like the fact that it's unisex
Jasper - looking at the stats in darkgreener it's clearly going to enter the top 100 soon.
Seth - Already too popular

If it helps my favourite girls names are Claudia, Saffron, Henrietta and Clementine.

Caleb
Isiah
Linus
Gabriel
Cornelius
Silas
Atticus
Finn
Jude
Wyatt
Elias

(though aware some of these end in 's' so might be ruled out for the same reason as Amos!)

We have different taste, as I don't like Amos and really don't like Seth. But I love Rowan. Gideon is lovely. Really, really don't like Nelson, sorry.

Rowan is great, I had no idea it was unisex!

Aaaargh surname STARTS with and S not ends with an S! Oopsy!

I would shorten Walter to Walt but I just think that wouldn't be the case when he started school!

Nelson is a meaningful place name and has some good namesakes, but I just think if I can avoid a son being called Wally or Nelly I probably should!

Still love Amos above any other boys name, how bad would it sound with 2 Syllable surname starting with St?
