Help[Opinions] Amias vs Amyas
Ok, so Amias has come back slowly up the top 5 on my boys list. Dave and I both really love it.
However.. i'm in a predicament over how to spell it! I prefer the look of Amias, but phonetically Amyas is probably easier.. but both have the problem of Amy-ass (lol)... And the only thing holiding it from my top place is that its so short and thus lack of nicknames. Ignatius "Iggy" And Theodore "Teddy" are on top, because I love the names, but also the nicknames are adorable!
So
1) Which would be better: Amyas or Amias?
2) Possible middle names?
3) Would it 'fit' with Ignatius "Iggy", Theodore "Teddy" and Daphne "Daffy"

I have not seen Amias before but I have seen Amaia and Amaya. It surprises me that the names are not derivatives of each other.
1) I prefer Amias for a boy - the "y" makes it seem more feminine to me. I'm not sure why. If you are interested in using it as a girl's name, may I suggest Amaia or Amaya instead?
2) Amias Leon, Amias Lazzaro, Amias Sean, Amias Richard, Amias Theodore
3) Yes to Theodore, No to Ignatius (too many "s" sounds) and definitely NO to Daphne. However, Daphne Amaia or Daphne Amaya sounds fine.
Do you like any of the suggestions?

I've never heard of either one, so before I offer an opinion... How do you say it: uh-MY-is?

1) I prefer Amias. It looks more masculine because it's not as close to Amy as Amyas is in terms of appearance. It also has more of a clean, crisp look to it.
