A brother for Amos

[Teamustbefromateapot]

Please help. Baby boy due soon and we can't agree on names! I like names that are uncommon but not completely unusual / unheard of. Would like the name to have a strong meaning and sound nice when said with his brothers' name. We are finding lots of boys' names sound too harsh beside it!!

Our current list that we don't really love is:
Boaz
Solomon (too long?)
Simeon (would he be constantly called Simon?)
Shepherd
Jethro
Ozzie / Ozzy (too different?)
Abel
Elias
Gideon
Asa
Albert (nn Bertie)

Would be so grateful for your thoughts and suggestions!!

Seth
Reuben
Micah

These are lovely names! Unfortunately we know 2-3 of each 😭. Would love something that we don't have to share with someone!

Isaac

Ivan

I love Amos!

Jago (lovely Cornish name), goes nicely with Amos, I think.

Remy

Seb

Cedric.

Love the name Amos! I had a pair of great uncles named Amos and Aloysious, nn Louis, so I vote that! Others which maybe fit the bill:

Sampson
Bartholomew (Bartie 😍)
Indy
Fergal
Emmanuel
Cosmo
Bowen
Hector
Atticus
Sullivan (love the nickname Sully!)

Asa

Not shepherd or Boaz

Jesse
Seth
Lucas
Matthias
Ishmael

Boaz - yes
Solomon - yes
Simeon - sounds like Simian
Shepherd - no
Jethro - not keen
Ozzie / Ozzy - Am-os and Oz too similar
Abel - yes but too matchy matchy
Elias - not keen
Gideon - not keen
Asa - yes but too matchy matchy
Albert (nn Bertie) - not keen

Suggestions: Joel, Joab, Gabriel, Caleb, Seth, Reuben

I would not go with Boaz he will get called Baz or something. And Shepherd -is that a first name?

I had an ancestor called Amos. Some of the other names in the family were Louis, Vittorio, Giuseppe, Alberto. There are anglicised versions of these names.

Joseph?

I like Elias and Solomon

How about Balthazar?

Aloysious. What a cool name!

Linus

Thank you. This is my problem, everything I love is too similiar

Ezra is nice.
Seth.
Eli or Elijah.
Love Amos.

Hubby likes Enoch and Abraham. What do we think?

I have a wonderful friend named Enoch, so I associate the name with loveliness! Goes well with Amos and different enough to not be matchy-matchy.

Abraham is cool but a bit too matchy with Amos, I think.

Silas
Wyndham
Aubrey

All farmers names along with Amos that I grew up with.

Andy

Farmers, no way! We have never met another Amos

Andrés

Andros

Ari
Avi
Cyrus
Ethan
Ezra
Gabriel
Jesse
Jonah
Judah
Lemuel
Linus
Nima
Oren
Ozias
Saul
Shai
Tobiah
Zeb

Not Enoch - Powell.

I immediately thought Joseph, which might be too common for you. But I love it shortened to Seph / Zeph which makes it more unusual.

Enoch makes me think of Enoch Powell, unfortunately.
