What do you think? I am rather liking it, fits the Biblical trend but not popular yet, easy to spell, short.

Only problem is will people pronounce it Job as in 'Job interview' or how it should be said Jobe? I noticed more people spelled it Jobe recently but I hate the e, it looks wrong.

Sorry, I really dislike it. It's doesnt look like a persons name.

Biblical Job didn't have the best of times, do you know the story?
What about Josiah? Jonah? Jedidiah?

Nooo. Job, jobby = poo to many people.

And Job in the bible had a pretty awful time.

Job will be pronounced like occupation.

Do you like Joby? Joe-bee.

I think you will get pronunciation problems, yes. Depends whether you mind that really. It's not to my taste, but if you like it then why not?

I'm not keen, sorry.
Especially if your surname is 'Seeker' or you could give him the initials 'JSA'
