Re: Amos or Hugh?
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?

"load, burden" D: awe poor kiddies named Amos. Was this the Hebrew version of "Unwanted"?
