What do you think of the name Amos? Has enough time passed for it to overcome the \u201cAmos & Andy\u201d association? Famous Amos cookies? I\u2019ve also heard that Amos is occasionally misheard as \u201cAnus\u201d (yikes!). Interested in your 2 cents :)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Amos & Andy association has disappeared for me. I’m familiar with Famous Amos cookies, but the name Amos didn’t bring them to mind—and if it did, it wouldn’t be something that would feel negative to me. The last issue is the one that would most concern me: M and N are very similar sounds in our language. Those are my two cents.<\/p>\n
I think what is needed here is more sets of two cents on those issues. Let’s try some polls, keeping in mind that a poll with a separate answer for each person’s exact point of view would be of no use; use the poll to put your answer into a general category, and use the comments section to be specific. (Or, if you truly can’t use any of the poll answers, skip the poll and use only the comments section.)<\/p>\n

\nWhen I emailed you back in March asking your opinion on the name Amos, I wasn’t even pregnant at the time. Haha! Well, almost a year later I thought I’d let you know that I became pregnant, had a little boy, AND named him Amos! Thank you to you and your readers for all the input :)
\nHere is our little man Amos Beau and his adoring sister Elinore Davie.<\/p>\n![\"image1\"](\"http:\/\/www.swistle.com\/babynames\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/image1-300x300.jpg\")
