Please don't.

Far too Game of Thrones these days.

OlennasWimple · 16/02/2019 19:57

I thought it was a made up name for Game of Thrones

So fine for a kitten, but not for a son.

Jonah is a proper name if you want something with a similar sound

I’m one of the few that hasn’t watched game of thrones...but I still don’t like the name Jorah...it seems made up to me.

TheClaifeCrier · 16/02/2019 19:59

It's from the Bible. I like it.

Cosmoa · 16/02/2019 20:25

Wondered if you'd misspelt Jonah

viques · 16/02/2019 20:32

wondered if you'd misspelt Jonah

Or Norah Grin

Seriously, don't, as others have said there are similar but better names.

It sounds like someone from Yorkshire or Manchester saying Jury

SlimGin · 16/02/2019 22:00

I don't see a huge problem with it however Joah is a nice alternative?

Thecreosotekid · 16/02/2019 22:10

Sounds like juror or dura (membrane covering the brain).

What about Jonah, Joah, Joby?

FindPrimeLorca · 16/02/2019 22:12

Oh I love Jorah in GOT. But no, no you shouldn’t.

donquixotedelamancha · 16/02/2019 22:14

Too Game of Thrones?

I don't understand. How can something be too Game of Thrones?

If I had a son he'd be called Tyrion.

FindPrimeLorca · 16/02/2019 22:14

It is also a name mentioned just once in the Old Testament in one of those huge lists, so you could argue that it is a real name, but you’d be clutching at straws.

PersonaNonGarter · 16/02/2019 22:15

I think it is fabulous (and I am very sneery about baby names)

Cbeebiesrehab · 17/02/2019 08:04

I know a baby Jorah. I do find it a bit too GOT but I quite like the sound of it. It sounds like a ‘real’ name. It’s also better than naming your daughter Kalessi!

Slowknitter · 17/02/2019 08:11

Hmmm - if you're going to choose a fictional name, Jorah at least sounds like it could be a real name and has a nice sound to it. I still wouldn't though tbh, even though I'm a big GoT (and Jorah) fan!
