American. Religious, like the Duggars. Or Mormon.

Jonah Ryan (from Veep)

Korvalscat · 02/09/2018 22:17

Eaten by a whale and generally unlucky/a jinx.

Twillow · 02/09/2018 21:52

It's like a byword for a jinx or bad luck isn't it?

Bagger288 · 02/09/2018 20:36

A bit wet with v. religious parents. Sorry Sad

NonaGrey · 01/09/2018 23:07

Unlucky

"Come listen to my tale, of Jonah and the whale...."

DieAntword · 01/09/2018 20:53

Whale fisherman.

I know a little Jonah in real life so it makes me think of him.

I think it’s a cool name.

daisypond · 01/09/2018 16:23

It means bad luck, jinx - it's in the dictionary as a word. It's from the Bible story.

A vegan child who has long hair, doesn't wear shoes and covered in mud from playing outdoors

MinaPaws · 01/09/2018 14:14

Floppy dark haired skinny teenager. Clever but doesn't show it. Very good at guitar. Probably has his own indie band. Never gets angry.

Totally invented, But that's how I see him. I like the name.

MaryandMichael · 01/09/2018 14:04

Only the guy with the whale. The belly of a big fish. Running away from God. Ha! How did that go, Jonah?

Felton · 01/09/2018 14:02

Jonah from Veep, who is tall, self obsessed, incompetent etc.

lecossaise · 01/09/2018 14:00

A Mormon in a suit.

ArsenicNLace · 01/09/2018 13:58

I like it (like names starting with 'J'). However rejected 'Jonah' as it's synonymous with someone being a jinx.

deptfordgirl · 01/09/2018 13:48

Cute, chubby, blonde, perhaps a bit shy, outdoorsy.

mintich · 01/09/2018 12:53

Jonah Hill

AhoyDelBoy · 01/09/2018 12:34

Jonah Lomu as well

HopeGarden · 01/09/2018 11:49

An unlucky boy who should stay away from boats.

Anonymumtum · 01/09/2018 11:48

Someone who brings bad luck

IsadoraQuagmire · 01/09/2018 11:44

Jonah from Summer Heights High. But also, lovely Jonah Lomu Sad

WhereIsMyDressingGown · 01/09/2018 11:31

A small boy with cool curly hair. I like the name.

KreigersClones · 01/09/2018 10:33

Long blonde hair, guitar, hippy, probably smokes loads of weed

PenelopeThePufferfish · 01/09/2018 10:32

I think he’s only the bringer of bad luck on boats! But even that’s not that well known now I don’t think.
