another name thread! what do you think of these?

[Stargazing]

I had a girl's name all set but it turns out that we are having a boy, so now I am in a dither. What do you think of any of these:

Jonah
Jonas
Seamus
Noah
Tariq
Ravi
Seth
Heath

DH has already vetoed a few of these but would still love your opinions!

I like Noah and Seth

Don't really like any of the others

dghds

what does dghds mean???!!

I don't dislike any of them, but I wouldn't use any of them myself

Dont like Tariq or Ravi, the rest are ok. My friend just named her newborn boy Eibor (pron) eebor. Never heard that one before, Viking name I think

don't like them myself but your baby so up to you,love

Don't really like any of them - sorry.

Plus I associate Jonah with bad luck - a Jonah is a jinx.

I like Noah but am not keen on any of the others tbh

Actualyl, don't have Seth in case he has a lisp.

Whats your name?

Theth

OMG!! A Jinx! in what language?? when??? Help. I looked up the meaning, saw that it meant dove and thought "how nice, peace, harmony etc" The thought of a jinx is awful, especially after the scary nuchal result I had last week (had CVS though, all fine)

Quite like Seth.

doesn't it mean bad luck?

jonah that is

I like Noah -
my dh said no to this !

I love Noah - my DH said no to that name too but I love it

Yes, a Jonah is an icon of bad luck. To call someone a Jonah would mean that you are calling them a jinx.

Found these definitions on Dictionary.com:

Jonah:

1. a Minor Prophet who, for his impiety, was thrown overboard from his ship and swallowed by a large fish, remaining in its belly for three days before being cast up onto the shore unharmed.

2. a book of the Bible bearing his name.

3. any person or thing regarded as bringing bad luck.

Yes, but the meaning of a name is, well, meaningless. Do you liek teh sound of the name? That's what matters, surely, not hocus pocus about it meaning bad luck.

I quite like both Jonas and Noah but wouldn't use either myself.

Have you relevant heritage for Ravi or Tariq? Not that it matters really but they might sit a bit strangely on a white-blond Nordic-looker.

love seamus and noah knew a tariq who was a right pain in the a* so it put me off the name soz!
but heath is quite nice and still quite unusual ...........well it is here in nottinghamshire where all new babys are called jack or jessica it seems (apart from mine) not that there is anything wrong with those names of course

I like Heath.

Like Jonas and Noah and Seth. The others are OK.

I wouldn't go for Jonah personally, it means bad luck (sorry to any mums of Jonahs)

I really like Noah and also Heath, know a lovely Heath. Ditto Seth actually.

Agree with Mrs B about tariq and Ravi. She's a wise woman is Mrs B.

well I am half Indian - so okay for Ravi, not so much for Tariq - but our dd is dark skinned, dark-haired, (as are both of us) so we can get away with a middle easter name I think? Tariq means morning star which I think is lovely

gutted about jonah! knew the fish story but not that he was considered bad omen! all I wa thinking was that it was a good thing that our dd is not likely to be overweight or nasty kids at school woudl call them Jonah and the Whale!!!

I'm not keen on any - sorry, particularly dislike Tariq.

Middle Eastern names:

Yusuf
Sami
Khalid
Kareem
Hassan
