Amos?

[akidu]

For a boy. Do you like it or does it make you think of Emmerdale? Discuss.

I like it (and I don't watch Emmerdale).

... mossy as a nick name is nice

Have to admit first thought was of Emmerdale, but it is a lovely name.
Think we're showing our age by the Emm connection.

Amos is lovely. I REALLY like it.

Don't worry about Emmerdale, Seth for example is v popular and not suffering for the association.

Good stuff. Got another one called Joseph and I think the two names go quite well together. Amos and Joe. I like it

Kids in the playground might call him Anus.

What?! I'm just saying!!

LOL! I might call him Anus never mind kids in the playground!!

I like it

If a child is going to call another child names, then they're going to do it. They'll do it with any name. Take something harmless, like, er John? Ewww John Thomas. Ewwww willy. You're a willy you are. And if it's not the name it's something else. Your trousers are grey. Ewww, dead squirrels are grey, look at you with your dead squirrel legs.

Amos is a perfectly good, rather lovely name.

Amos and Joe go well together.

I think I am going to like it here (first time poster), been lurking for a bit, but I think you guys are funny and don't take it all too seriously like some other ....Amos it is then!!

meant other forums....

Oh we know what you mean by 'some other forums'. We know, don't worry. Welcome to the fold. Enjoy the ticker-free, clean screen.

Have you thought of a middle name?

Probably Evans, its a family tradition, and it will go well with our surname. Quite distinguished I think. Maybe?

I have an Amos - he is nearly 3. It is my favourite name of all time!

'dead squirrel legs'

Amos Evans Humperdinck.

I like. It's even impossible to ruin with a ridiculous surname. Unless your surname's Above of course.

It sounds marvellous. I bet he will have really sweet cuddly chops

Sorry, but I think its awful. My first boyfriend was called Amos, and he loathed it, people ALWAYS joked about Emmerdale, or Amos-quito.

Amos-quito just proves my point.

Ruby, Ru-bee, fnar ha ha, you're named after a stingy thing you are, a bee, your mum's made of honey she is.

Or Natalie, Natalie. Like a gnat. Ha ha, you've got wings you have. You can fly. You've got the lurgy ner ne ne ner ner.

My name rhymes with a brand of motorbike. That's the best they could come up with. ShowOfHands The Motorbike (but imagining it rhyming, like Juzuki the Suzuki if you will). Occasionally a clever dick would add 'Brum Brum' on the end.

And I think Amos has left Emmerdale. Few primary aged children are watching Emmerdale repeats before their fishfingers. You're safe. Name your child Amos.

I'm sure that was delightfully apt in your case, SoH- how lovely

Awful.

you the town bike soh?

I got bronky-sore-arse ...softening the blow

Yeah, except not the shiny bike the boys wanted to have a go on, the rusty wreck at the bottom of the pond that they wouldn't dredge up and use for parts.

No! I bet they said "Vroom vroom" in much the manner of a young Leslie Phillips. That is the only image of you I will countenance.
