Looking for any suggestions for a middle name for Jonah - we tend to like longer middle names that are 3 plus syllables but the only two longer names on our list at the minute are Jonah Theodore or Jonah Gabriel. DH also suggested Jonah Jude which I’m not totally against and I quite like the alliteration - but I just keep thinking a longer name will sound better.
Does anyone have any other suggestions that could work? ☺️

Are you sure about Jonah? A Jonah is slang for a bad luck symbol in relation to the bible story.

Well maybe they’re not aware. I’d never want my child to have a name associated with bad luck, would you?
