Jonah and Esther

[flopsy1974]

Just out of interest, what do you think? It's my new nephew and nieces name's (they are twins btw)

lovely! Are their parents christian?

My brother was brought up a Christian but doesn't go now except for weddings and funerals so I don't think that is the reasoning behind the name choices. I think they are lovely but my mother pulled a face this morning when she found out so I thought I'd find out what other people think.

What's up with your mum? They are really nice names and not common atm but not 'out there' either. Good choice by your db and dsil.

Ooh, lovely. Both on my list, your db and dsil clearly have good taste

lovely

Hate Jonah, love Esther.

I like them individually but somehow I'm not sure they go together. Esther just sounds like an "older" name and Jonah a "younger" name.

But they are both nice names, and both old-Testament so they match in that respect. :)

They're both perfectly good names. I quite like them both.

Love Jonah very very much, not so keen on Esther.

I know siblings called Jonah and Esther. I think they go together lovely

Lovely names individually. Cheesy combo. Sorry, but I would assume the parents were bible-bashers.

Very nice. I'm less keen on Jonah but it's a nice name.

I love traditional, biblical names.

Esther was high on my list of girls names.

Jonah wasn't but it's very close to the name that was!

Absolutely lovely

I think they are beautiful names!

They're both lovely and go great together .
I automatically think of Noah's Ark (not that they're in there) but that's not a problem imo, it just makes them go better together.
Although, on that note... make sure they don't name their next Noah.

Lovely!
