Opinions on the name Jonah?

[HollyYates]

Feels like potentially a less popular Jude? Just not sure if it has the same charm in my opinion.

Love it ❤️

Love it.

I love it and think that it’s infinitely nicer than Jude. The bad luck associations wouldn’t bother me personally.

I have a 12 year old son, who has a friend called Jonah. Really lovely kid. His friends all call him 'Boner'. Just a heads up.

I really like it. Know of one, who is about 10.

Love it and Jonas.

I like it, have only ever met one and he was a really nice guy. He used to have a whale as his laptop login icon which always made me chuckle!

I love the name Jonah so so much. I wanted it for our 3rd child, DH didn't 😞

I prefer it to Jude!

My son works with a Jonah (late teen/ early 20?), it's such a lovely name.
His friends call him Jonesy.

No. A Jonah is someone who brings bad luck. Someone who puts a jinx on things.

Love it. There's also Joe as a nn.

My mum suggested it to me when pregnant and I dismissed it in a hormonal mood, then remembered a few years later and wished I'd used it!

Don't be ridiculous.

It's a cool name.
There's also Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. The brave one who volunteered to take poor Benjamin's place.

Hate it. Do you know what it means? It’s a actual word in the dictionary.

Another one who prefers it to Jude tbh!

I prefer Jude .

Whale
Bad luck

Nice, but could be pronounced differently in a few languages if that matters to do. Eg German speaking would say Yoh-na rather than “J”.

I love it

I like it

Yeah waiting until birth to find out the gender so preparing for all possibilities!

Character from Superstore! I like it

Love it! Prefer to Jude.
