Facebook BA!
So a friend of mine on Facebook's wife just had their second child and his name is...
Amos Emmanuel, brother of Harriet "Hattie" (I couldn't find her middle name, sorry guys.)Personally, I think it's really charming. Emmanuel is nms, but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Amos.WDYT?I reject your reality and substitute my own!

I like the names individually, kinda hipster-ish in a good way, but as a sibset it suddenly leans very redneck.

I like both names but not together. But the sibset of Amos and Harriet is really sweet, if a bit hipster.

Ick. Hate Amos as well as Asa. Sounds like a redneck rube.

Redneck rube? What does it mean?

Going to the American dictionary at dictionary dot com ...
It's the safe way to explain this thing.redneck
1. an uneducated white farm laborer, especially from the South.
2. a bigot or reactionary, especially from the rural working class.rube
an unsophisticated person from a rural area; hick.hick
an unsophisticated, boorish, and provincial person; rube. For whatever it's worth, I have a similar association with Amos.
Asa does sound rural South to me too, but antiquated - I don't think I'd think of it if I met a child Asa.

Thank you!
You were helpful !!!Everywhere there are some prejudices like this.Also in Italy if you hear names such Addolorata or somenthing like this you can imagine a stereotype of Southern-Italian person.

I mean, to be fair, the parents DO live in rural Wisconsin, which is a help of a lot more redneck than anyone gives us credit for...
