Jonah or Roman ?

[WillowTheWitch]

Any thoughts ?

Is it hypoxia?! I've never met a Roman round 'ere.

I know one Roman. He is in his fifties and well fit! Posh wealthy guy in London. I'd never heard of the name before 2008.

I have a Jonah and (obv) adore the name. I ignore the bad meaning. Although I would prefer it if a friend didn't repeatedly post on FB that she was 'having a jonah day' (quote from Anne of Green Gables)

Love Jonah but dh wouldn't have it

Love Jonah. Roman is pretentious .

I'd immediately associate Roman with Beckham.

Love Jonah though. I only know one, he's about 14.

Roman is a nice enough name, but it makes my think of Roman Polanski. Not a good association.

The beckhams son is Romeo . Oh roman Polanski mmm that has put me off it a bit now . I doubt I would have convinced DH on roman anyway .

I was going to mention Polanski too, beta. Don't think I know any Jonahs, and most people don't seem to mind about the meaning anyway now. I think it's a nice name.

Roman is lovely. Sorry, I've never liked Jonah.

If you've changed your mind about Roman - what about Rowan?

It's a shame, as Roman has all sorts of other positive connotations.

Jonah. I wanted it for ds2 but already had a Jacob and dp thought it'd be too much but LOVE it.

Think they would be great together as first and middle. Jonah Roman X- ace.

Always thought given Jonah survived being eaten by a whale he was rather lucky. Plus you can sing Jonah Man Jazz to him

Roman has got very popular here. Bit 'try hard' for my taste.

Jonah is OK.
