Just came across this name and love it...thoughts?

[MadameSapphire]

Looking for a name for our baby boy due in the new year and have just come across the name Jonas. I'm really loving it but am looking for some opinions? Other name suggestions welcome...am looking for a name that isn't very common but isn't absurdly 'out there'! Thanks in advance! x

It's lovely.

I prefer Balonz

I don’t like it. But I’m not a fan of overtly religious names.

I like it. I also like Jonah.

I like it a lot.

I love it.

We almost used it as a middle name but chose Jonah instead as it went better with the first name we chose. It's a lovely name x

Jonah is nice
Jonas doesn’t look right to me.

We have a jonas in the family. It’s a great name, easy to spell and say. No one calls him joe. Go for it!

I've a friend who has a Jonas. They are a really cool, slightly hippieish family and I think the name is fab. Can't say I've ever thought of the jonas brothers and it's not something she's found an issue

I don't mind it. I much prefer it over similar names like Jonah and Josiah.
Other ideas:
Rufus
Magnus
Fergus
Joash
Jonathan
Joseph

Thanks very much for the thoughts so far...it seems liked/loved by the majority! :-)

Astronica, I really like Rufus, but someone recently made a comment about it being a dog's name!? x

I love Jonas. I knew a very handsome Danish one years ago! It actually comes up quite a bit in the Yorkshire branch of my family tree so perhaps was locally popular back in the day.

I like Jonas, it's a bit different but not in a weird way. Go for it!

Love Jonas - fab name!

Lovely name, best of luck

@Karenboomer er.. what exactly are you trying to say there?

Jonas is a great name, hope you use it OP!
