Jonah.

Then you can get him baby gros with little whales on 😍

BernardBlacksHangover · 29/10/2017 19:15

Niki does make an excellent point though...

Jonah - I know loads of Jacobs

Jonah

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/10/2017 20:01

Jacob, or how about Jonas ?

Jacob

Jonah......I am biased though

Jacob.

Jonah is heavily associated with Pacific Islanders where I am. Not that that's necessarily a negative thing. It's just a connotation.

Jonah.

Jacob will just get shortened to Jake.

Jacob

Ionarocks · 30/10/2017 12:15

Jonah. I have a Jonah and I've never met another. I love Jacob but Jacobs and Jakes are everywhere. (And we did get lots of whale themed presents!)

WanderingTrolley1 · 30/10/2017 12:20

Jonah.

SuccessStory · 30/10/2017 12:22

Jacob. Jonah’s a bit of a nickname (in some parts) for someone who likes their sleep too much...”he’s a bit of a Jonah”.

RavenWings · 30/10/2017 13:25

Jonah. I don't really like Jake.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 30/10/2017 20:55

Jonah.

Love the name.

Makes me think of the late, great, Jonah Lomu.
[Rugby legend, NZ All Blacks]

Niki, your whales babygro comment made me smile! Smile

WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup · 30/10/2017 21:02

Jonah.

Sophronia · 31/10/2017 16:39

Jacob

Jonah. Too many Jakes around, and most Jacobs become Jake, eventually.
