Amias

Shocked to find this name suddenly in 2019's top 1000. I didn't realize anyone still used it this millennium - I'd always thought of Amias as a beautiful but unusably rare and medieval name.

This spelling seems more familiar to me because it's quite similar to Elias, which may be a good thing with such a rare name. Both Amias and Amyas are still unusual and a bit old fashioned, though not in a bad way at all. They also have a nice sound as long as the first A doesn't rhyme with day since that sounds a bit forced.

A very cool and uncommon name! It is pronounced uh-MY-us.
