Names similar to Morris

[penjo]

So I love the written name Morris for our son and the shortenings Mossie or Moss... But as soon as I said it out loud to my husband I heard 'Maurice' and have totally gone off the name now . Any suggestions of similar names/names containing morris (don't love Morrison or Morrissey sadly, Amos is a possible... ) That's as far as I've got, I need ideas please !

Ford
Morgan
Austin
Jenson
Gordon

I'm wondering how Morris is said other than Maurice

If I saw Morris written down I would just have assumed the parents didn't know how to spell Maurice, so used the spelling for the car.

Sorry, no suggestions, just want to know how it is pronounced.

'Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love'

For some people Maurice = maw-REECE rather than morris.

Joris or Boris

Joris is Yorris

The parents of the lovely clever cool Morris we know were keen on old fashioned names but sick of popular Charlie, Alfie, Freddie, Henry/Harry etc so trawled First World War era cemetery near them.

Joscelin with Joss as a nickname.
Joris aka Jo
Meurig ?
Marius
Marcos
Otis
Lauritz

Per some of the suggestions above, I think Boris has become unusable, owing to the nobhead of the same name. Baurice anyone?

If you spell it Beaurice you;d give him more nn options, @jaundice

I'm not sure I understand your post. Maurice is sometimes pronounced French-style (especially in North America) but I've only heard Morris pronounced à l'anglaise. So I'm not sure what the issue is?

Marcus?

I think the OP is worried that when she says Morris, people will hear Maurice and then say Maureece
