I've made a bit of naming progress with DH--finally! This isn't a final
list, but 2 names that are contenders. What are your thoughts? Last name starts with Car, ends with a chee-a sound.[Poll]
Jonah is a nice name, but so many people are reviving the "obscure" Old Testament names, and I'm just kind of over it. While Jonah is one of the few that doesn't sound hokey to me, it's definitely on trend with Eli and Jeremiah and Asher.
Jonathan (while also an Old Testament name) is understated and refined, and I like it so much more.
Jonathan/Jon are so very boring to me - while less used now, it is still one of the most common names in the history of the English language. With that said, it is a nice, solid name... and I prefer it over Jonah.
Re: XP: Which J name do you prefer?
