To be worried about DS name (rude comment)

[Littlebittosunshine]

My DS is13. Never had any worries about his name before now.
But yesterday at work I had a rather rude comment from a customer ( I'm a garden/landscaper so have a chat with them here and there) this customer in particular im not a huge fan of. Fine in terms of work but just talks non stop only about herself and likes to mention how wealthy she is. But yesterday my colleague mentioned my son in conversation by name. And she gasped and said "oh how awful, who would name their child such a thing, eugh sounds like a bad omen"
I am now concerned there are lots of people who think this but have just never said it to my face before.
His name is Jonah.
I'm aware it has meaning in the bible to Jonah and the whale but I'm not religious and named him after a rugby player.
YABU his name is fine. YNBU she's just rude.
Be honest please.

Jonah is a lovely name.

Jonah Hill is an famous actor

Jonah Lomu is an incredible Rubgy player

Ignore your client. She is rude and it frankly says far more about her and her lack of class than she realises.

Unless she's from a seafaring background, I can't see the issue.

Historically, a Jonah was someone who bought bad luck to a ship.

She sounds like an insufferable idiot. Jonah is a perfectly nice name.

Absolutely LOVE that name. It sounds kind and reliable - I know that sounds ridiculous but that's how my brain works.

Your client, on the other hand, sounds like a dick.

There will always be someone with something to say about something x

Jonah is a lovely name, and have voted you are being unreasonable as, their is absolutely no issue with the name and your client is just rude!!

It's a lovely name and that woman is very rude.

How do you pronounce Dylan?

It’s pronounced Duh-lan.

My thoughts too. Being eaten by a whale and surviving is pretty impressive! (Presumably not possible!)

She's nuts, that's a perfectly acceptable name and only someone ignorant and ungracious would suggest differently. Friend named her son an old, not commonly heard, Irish name. The following year, the film The Omen was released. Now that's a name to avoid since then.

Lovely name!

Jonah is a lovely name! She was extremely rude, please don't let it get to you.

It’s a nice name. Pass no remarks on the silly cow.

WTF? What is wrong with Jonah? Ignore her OP. Not like you called him Satan!

Never heard it pronounced that way.

Do people in this day and age believe in omens? Strange woman. Jonah is a lovely name.

Do you say Bob Duh-lan?

Quite.

Wonderful man and a wonderful rugby player I may have had a little crush.

Haha, this.

Jonah is a great name.

Please tell her his middle name is Lucifer 😂

I read it like that, his name rarely comes about enough for me to have thought about it to be honest. Like I will always read the name Rhys as its original pronunciation, not Reece.

Before a friend called her DC Jonah, I didn’t know it had another meaning - DH pointed out it means a person who carries bad luck/a jinx. I guess it depends if that’s a phrase someone uses.

It is still rude of your client!

She must have been referring to this (scroll to cultural influence):

But, she was rude none the less.

I work in education. Never heard anything bad about the name Jonah. My friends son is called Jonah. It's a lovely name.
