HelpRe: Amos or Hugh?
in reply to a message by Sparrow
Neither, they are both really aristocratic-old-guyish.
Hugh just sounds like someone being surprised. "You won the lottery" - "Hugh?" It doesn't even sound like a name. And it is very Hugh Grant which is fine but also reminds me of old, posh men.
I choose Amos because I like Harry Potter and it sounds like a name at least.

I don't know about aristocratic...
...My grandpa was named Hugh, he was the most rugged, hard-working, down-to-earth farmer boy ever. Maybe he was an anomaly..?

I just looked up Amos' meaning and it is terrible :( I thought it meant "beloved" like Amy or Amanda but I was wrong

Actually...
The name Amos derives from the Hebrew verb עמס (‘amas) to carry. So to elaborate it means to load or carry a load.

Well that makes all the difference xD perhaps the Amos entry should be modified if so?
