I love vowel names and know that many of you all do to… So in our lists and suggestions, why haven’t I seen [name]Amos[/name]?
I am not sure I like it for me with our last name, but I am just wondering why I haven’t seen more of it on these boards?
Thoughts? Is it dated? Trendy?
Like I said, I have no attachment to this name, it just popped into my head and I am wondering why I haven’t seen it anywhere on nameberry!
[name]Amos[/name] is a bit dated, I think. I’m 41 and think [name]Amos[/name] & [name]Andy[/name] when I hear it (and that program pre-dates me by a number of years, I think)!
The other assocation I have is Famous [name]Amos[/name], which is a yummy association! I have [name]Amos[/name] on my collected favorites list but I think I’m one of a very few that do like [name]Amos[/name]. He’s soft & gentle feeling, very calm too. Not exactly in step with today’s names, I think. He sounds awesome with my surname! So I definitely like him and have him in a few combos on my favorites list but I doubt there are many others. I’d love to see what others think of sweet, little [name]Amos[/name]!
[name]Amos[/name] is very cute but has a very similar sound to an unattractive body part. Poor little [name]Amos[/name] would be teased nonstop.
Ahhh! I have NEVER considered that [name]Susan[/name]!
[name]Titus[/name] is another name that is a real problem. Sounds like Tight You-Know-What.
Never thought of that either, [name]Susan[/name]. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe for a cat?
For a conceited little cat.
It is important to consider such teasing factors, I didn’t catch that either! It doesn’t sound too similar in sound to said body part though, and I wouldn’t condemn every name ending in -os/-is/-us based on that. I like [name]Amos[/name]. He reminds me of a mossy stone (which is a good thing!). He’s quite unusual, it’s not often you find a short name ending in -os. Cool pick, thanks for pointing it out! :]
I agree, [name]Susan[/name]! The a beginning, the os ending, n being so close to m, and the two syllables, is a recipe for disaster! [name]Amos[/name] and the, uh, other thing, are too close for comfort for me!
Another one that sounds too much like this anotomical part, is [name]Anais[/name]. If someone doesn’t understand how to pronounce it properly in French (and oh, have I heard it butchered!), [name]Anais[/name] is just asking for trouble!
if you like amos, what about arlo? it doesn’t rhyme with any less-than-desirable body parts that i can think of!
Oh, I think [name]Amos[/name] is quite handsome! For me it’s a dapper gentleman’s name, a fresher altnerative to the suddenly uber-hip [name]Atticus[/name]. I have no negative associations with it at all, only positive. I know several dashing older men with the name. Also, it was my dad’s nn for my sister [name]Amy[/name] when were little. And I used to go to church with a lovely lady named [name]Amis[/name], her mother’s maiden name, which I thought was just gorgeous.
Oh thanks [name]Melissa[/name]! You just made my night. [name]Amos[/name] is a name I’ve long liked. So warm and friendly but that rhyming/similarity thing [name]Susan[/name] pointed out just about made me cry. It’s nice to see someone else likes [name]Amos[/name]! 
Okay, [name]Lola[/name], I’m sorry to rain on your [name]Amos[/name] parade! But I used to love [name]Charlotte[/name] until you pointed out the word harlot in [name]Charlotte[/name]. But I’m actually glad you pointed out harlot because now that I see it, I don’t think about [name]Charlotte[/name] anymore. 
It sounds like you still love [name]Amos[/name] and it is a very handsome name if you don’t think about the other similar sound. Actually many names have negative sounds in them. My name [name]Susan[/name] starts with [name]Su[/name] which sounds like I’m going to sue somebody. And [name]Catherine[/name] sounds kind of like catheter. Or what about [name]Bill[/name] which sounds like it’s time to get your wallet out and pay up. But when names are used a lot they stop sounding like other words because we get so used to them, and then they just sound like names. So if [name]Amos[/name] got to be a lot more popular, no one would think of the other negative similar sounding word. Not even me.
[name]Just[/name] like the way I see [name]Charlotte[/name] shouldn’t (in a perfect world) deter anyone from using [name]Charlotte[/name]. it’s got such a pretty sound. My [name]Josie[/name] has a monkey named [name]Charlotte[/name]. One of those chattering ones you find in the malls? yeah, it hangs on her bed and decorates it for her. Hot pink [name]Charlotte[/name].
I am really sorry for pointing that out and ruining it for you. I did not intend to ruin it, just explain why I dislike it. sigh The best of intentions sometimes don’t come across the way one intends, you know?
Yes, I still do like [name]Amos[/name] and if I can get him to even think about it, I’ll add it to the list so fast his head’ll spin! 
[name]Lola[/name], it’s true that now I don’t like [name]Charlotte[/name] anymore because of harlot. But you have introduced me to so many new names that I don’t mind. Nowadays I just love [name]Josephine[/name] and also [name]Cosmo[/name]. If I don’t like a name and then I read your post and you say it’s great, I look at it in a different way. I don’t always end up liking it, but I respect your opinion so much that I give it another chance.
[name]Amos[/name] kind of reminds me of the name [name]Regina[/name]. I have a good friend named [name]Regina[/name] nn [name]Regi[/name]. It was difficult for her in junior high because of all the teasing. But she made it through and now she loves her name. Any decent person would not tease someone about their name. But there are a lot of mean kids out there who have not been taught to respect others. It’s too bad. I’m concerned about other people’s teasing. I would never tease anyone about their name.
I think of [name_m]Amos[/name_m] Diggory cedric’s dad from HP that’s the only reason it feels dated to me if it wasn’t for that it would seem cute I also think of moss never thought of the body part thing before not to obvious though
The only [name_m]Amos[/name_m] I know is my 35 year old cousin. I do like it, but I feel it is a bit dated.
I really like [name_m]Amos[/name_m] and sometimes suggest it. It sounds old and ‘mossy’ to me…like an outdoorsy name.
I’ve always liked [name_m]Amos[/name_m]. When my grandmother was having my father, her grandfather thought he could get a namesake out of it. She said, I love you grandpa, but no way is my son going to be named [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]! That was the 1950’s. Today, I’m sure you berries would love my great-great-grandpa’s name!
I really like [name_m]Amos[/name_m]!! I never even thought of these reasons that people gave - but I can see their point. I still think it’s a great name though, and have considered it. Our son is [name_m]Abel[/name_m] (another option you might like?), so I think [name_m]Abel[/name_m] and [name_m]Amos[/name_m] would be a bit too much.
