    Could it be Eames, a variant of the Irish boys name Eamon?

    Description--
    People with this name are excellent at analyzing, understanding, and learning. They tend to be mystics, philosophers, scholars, and teachers. Because they live so much in the mind, they tend to be quiet and introspective, and are usually introverts. When presented with issues, they will see the larger picture. Their solitary thoughtfulness and analysis of people and world events may make them seem aloof, and sometimes even melancholy.
    Soul Urge--
    People with this name have a deep inner desire to inspire others in a higher cause, and to share their own strongly held views on spiritual matters.

    My immediate thought was Eames, as in the chair. Not a common name so I don't think it would be on all baby name sites.

    I agree and I also worked out a better way to say how it's pronounced

    Eams like beams without the B

    I'm not sure if I'll use it but I'll put it on the list, once people that know him know his name they will know how to pronounce it... Like with lots of kids these days

    I have come across the name Eames before. I would pronounce it beams without the b.

    I saw it on the tv show Batchelor pad but his was spelt "Ames" which is likely slightly different name

    Hubby said I probably like it because I'm law and order obsessed and there is dectective Eames on the old criminal intent with Goran. Which is funny because Elliot from svu used to be on the boys name list.
