I have one. No one's rude to my face about it!

Both have the potential to be shortened if they're not wild about it themselves.

Would choose a traditional mn

Like both, and know 2 of each under one. Slightly prefer Caleb, but depends what names it is going with.

I love Caleb; alas we don't have a boy, and even if we did couldn't use it as surname has 'C' and 'l'; plus DD has a name beginning with 'C' - too confusing!

gorgeous name though; less keen on Jonah (too much potential for whale jokes)

Well there is no bump as of yet, its more of a lets talk about names, we agree on a girl, but no boy and dp keeps bringing it up. We can't agree on anything, a while back he liked Caleb but now is not so sure, and then he mention Jonah which i totally adore. I also love love love Cole but he hates it, i also like Sullivan but dp's last name is Sully so that is not gonna happen.

I really like Cole, Caleb is a good name too.

I think Jonas is a much better option than Jonah - Jonah has the unlucky / bringer of doom connotation and the whale jokes possibility.
