Narrowed it down to 2. Which do you prefer?

Boy Names

One option is a little more saucy, boyish and feels a bit Southern to me…The other is classic. I love saying the first out loud.

[name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m] (pronounced why-lee)

or

[name_m]Amos[/name_m] Juilian [name_m]Richards[/name_m]

I loved theodore but my husband nixed it

I prefer [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] with your surname. [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] is too similar to that irritating Road Runner cartoon Wile E. Coyote. Also, I find I turn into [name_m]Elmer[/name_m] Fudd when I say [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m] aloud a couple of times. Some cartoons are so annoying.

Well, I like the flow of [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m] the best. R!ch@rd$ is my surname, too (hey, surname buddy! :)), and, for what it’s worth, I would have no problems saying [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m], but then again, I’m used to saying the surname a lot. :slight_smile: I think either would be great, but [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] has my heart.

Good luck!

I like the flow of [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m] :slight_smile:

5

I vote for [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]! I prefer the classic to balance out the less-often-heard [name_m]Amos[/name_m].

6

I like both equally.

[name_m]Wiley[/name_m] feels more spunky.

[name_m]Julian[/name_m] has the option of AJ.

[name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m] :slight_smile:

8

[name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is a nice combination and doesn’t seem like a tongue-twister when repeated with your last name.

9

I vote for [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]. I’ve always really liked the name [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and - although not my personal style - [name_m]Amos[/name_m] is a beautiful name.

10

Also, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is a favourite of mine too but there’s no way my Husband would go for it either :frowning:

11

I prefer [name_m]Julian[/name_m]. [name_m]Amos[/name_m] is a choice that’s both daring and classic. I like it. Reminds me of my perennial namecrush [name_m]Jethro[/name_m].

12

because I don’t say [name_u]Wylie[/name_u] with a wh sound.

13

I prefer [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m], although I want to say that I prefer [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m]. I dunno. I can only picture [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] on a man wrangling bulls.

14

I prefer [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]. [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] sounds a little redneck to me and not in a Southern gentleman way (sorry!). I could picture an [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] running moonshine 80 years ago. But [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] gives an air of classic distinction.

15

I prefer [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m]. Not only because I prefer [name_m]Julian[/name_m] to [name_m]Wiley[/name_m], but also the 3 syllables in [name_m]Julian[/name_m] gives the name more flow.
