Hosea

[Colourfulest]

DP has been playing a new game and one of the characters is Hosea. I used to go to church as I child and I would this name often, it is one of the books of the bible after all!

Anyway, when I heard it last night I was thinking how it was such a lovely name... But I've never heard of anyone called Hosea. There were only 4 recorded on ONS 2017!

Does anyone else like it?

It's pronounced Ho-zay-ah

Hoseasons is a holiday company.

Yes I like it.

Please don't! It's the connetations. He had a wife gomer who was a prostitute and the whole point of his prophecy was telling people how ungodly they were

Or it makes me think I’ve got both hose pipes running on my allotment and it’s “hozier”.

Makes me think of the pokemon, horsea

Oh I'm not pregnant!! And I'd never use it as I like other names more. Just wondered why I'd not heard the name more often.

Has a feeling it might be to do with his story... But a super quick/lazy google search didn't show anything

I really like it, but not the Bible character it belongs to

No way, Hose.....a

(Or, Hoooray, it's a Hoseasons holiday!)

I also think of the Pokémon Horsea...

I reAd it as Horsea (Horsey)

The biblical Hosea became known as Joshua, which is pretty popular!
