Amos

Unique, cool, ages well.

Amos is a strong, serious name that sounds very masculine. I’m a big fan of this name. For those who worry that it sounds like anus, I say it also sounds like famous, shameless, painless, blameless, etc. If kids want to make fun of someone’s name they will find a way. I was called Tecumpseh in elementary school because my name starts with a T and ends in a -ah sound even though my name sounds nothing like Tecumpseh. I don’t think giving a child the name Amos sets them up for extra teasing. Just another opinion...

I'm not the first and I'm certainly not going to be the last saying this. Famous Amos is the first thing that comes to my head but that does not deter from the fact that Amos is a great name. I love Amos, it's just as sweet as the chocolate chip cookie :) for real, I like the name Amos- enough joking.

Amos is one of the greatest name I have ever come across.

It's a very upperclass name, but I think it suits a grown man more than it does a child. It would sound Spanish if you pronounced it "Ah-mose", however.

It also has a classical ting to it, descended from Hebrew. It is also very majestic, kind of mysterious in a way. Considerably unique, should be more popular especially in America.

Great name but not something I'd use for a child. It rhymes with Anus. Yeah, no thank you...

"Famous Amos"
Love this name!

This makes me think of a sort of dumb, bumbling guy. Probably because I connect it with the character in the musical Chicago.

I would fear that a boy named Amos would be called anus throughout grade school.

Amos ROCKED in the bible! I love the book of Amos and if you were named Amos I think it would be a great! I love the name Amos Hayden or Amos David.
