Cool dude

Sweet, sensitive, friendly, dependable. It’s a lovely name.

A young offender!...that's only because I live in Australia and there's a tv character called Jonah and he's a bit feral!

In the UK I think you can get away with Jonah, it sounds cool, sporty and confident.

I only know one, a kid I work with at Nursery. He's super cute, chubby, red cheeks. I think it's a lovely name!

Calm, capable and intelligent. And tall for some reason.

My darling grandson

And the whale?

Open, straightforward, honest, quiet.

Hipster parents.

The moaner... sorry. First thing that pops into my head.

TarquinGyrfalcon · 30/08/2018 21:58

Makes me think if the chapter in one of the Anne of Green Gables book where everything goes wrong and she describes it as 'A Jonah Day'

tillytop · 30/08/2018 22:01

A boy who grows up, then eaten by a whale. Sorry.

Sleepless in Seattle.

cabininthewoods2016 · 30/08/2018 22:04

Sorry doesn't really answer your question but it's what I thought of immediately

Summer height high

My mam always said the people who put a downer on things were Jonahs. Must have been taken from the story.
But I don’t think that many people would refer the name to the tale.

moredoll · 31/08/2018 02:34

Bit wet tbh. Sorry.

Monday55 · 31/08/2018 03:15

A chubby dude

TroubledLichen · 31/08/2018 03:29

We know a newborn Jonah and the first thing DH said when we heard the name was Summer Heights Heigh. On the upside it’s reminded us how awesome it is and we’re currently enjoying rewatching it!

Ihavethepower · 31/08/2018 03:39

I've always associated it with a jinx.
