Boys names are so hard!

[ClaraBean]

We thought we loved Morris, but then realised he could easily end up with the same nn as older ds.
Our list now is
Sylvester - but no good nn is a problem for dp, I don't care about that
Eugene - love this

So - Sylvester vs Eugene

Which do you prefer and why?

Being honest. I don't like either of them.

Sorry Op.

What’s the older brother called?

@Cinderellashoes he's called Amos. He's nearly 14 so they won't be called in from the garden together or anything, but he gets called Moss or Mossy reasonably often, and Morris could easily become a Moss too!!

Eugene, I like Gene as a NN.

Eugene. Gene Kelly, Gene Hackman, Gene Wilder 😍

I think Eugene goes better with Amos, also Eugene Fitzherbert is what it reminds me of which is nice

Also not keen on either, although Eugene out of the two. Sylvester will always be a cat.

What about Harris? Similar to Morris

Love Amos

Not mad keen on these two - but Sylvester is the one I prefer.

I think Morris is great name

Amos is lovely, but I’m not keen on Eugene or Sylvester. I came up with a few other ideas:
Errol
Seth
Edgar
Gideon
Ezra
Clark
Víctor
Fraser

Don’t like Eugene, sorry. Don’t really think Slyvester goes with Amos.

Alternatives?
Gideon
Nathaniel
Stephen
Otis

Amos is nice, but I agree with pp that Eugene and Sylvester don't really "fit" with his brothers name (to be honest they sound a bit geeky/hipster to me, where as Amos is more a sturdy uncommon biblical).

Lewis or Heath instead of Morris? Silas or Cyrus instead of SyIvester? Elias or Ezra instead of Eugene? I also like pp suggestions of Clark, Nathaniel and Seth.

Amos is such an excellent name. How about Gideon or Isaac?

Amos and Eugene!

Both classic underused and both two syllables.

I don't think they are hard I think you're just choosing weird ones.

Amos and Gabriel
Amos and Jude
Amos and Jacob
Amos and Zacchary
Amos and Malachi
Amos and Josiah

Thanks all.
Dp really struggles with associations, which is annoying. Not just people we know but films, tv and songs. So he vetoes a lot.
From the suggestions given I do rather like Clark so I'll see what he says to that (although I think Immediately of the National Lampoon films, but I don't mind that!)
I also think I now definitely love Eugene more than Sylvester.

Both dreadful
