Help[Opinions] Miriam and Jonas
These are now my top favorite names. I'm rather suprised, as my taste has never run towards that type. However, they have made it to the top.
I still don't have any other names that call to me. I like Alice and Conrad, but they don't fit the style of Miriam and Jonas. The only other names I like that fit in are Joshus and Jeremiah...and then I'd start the dreaded J theme.
Anyone have any other names that fit in? And yes, it's Jonas, NOT Jonah.

I adore both Miriam and Jonas and I think they sound lovely together. I actually think Alice and Conrad would both fit in well with Miriam and Jonas, but maybe you're looking for other Biblical/Hebrew names that would 'fit'? I'll give it a shot.
Some suggestions:
Naomi
Esther
Ruth
Adina
Dinah
Adah
Eve
Zipporah
Lydia
Priscilla
Damaris
Reuben
Ezra
Isaac
Elias / Eli
Tobias / Tobiah
Asa
Zev
Abner
Abram
Asher
Simon
Phineas
Levi
Emmanuel
Barnaby
Luke

I was looking for more Hebrew/Biblical names.
I really love Zev, but I will never get to use it - everyone I have ever dated looked at me askew when I suggested it. Simon, Abram, Elias, Eli, Ezra, and Eve are great.
I think I want a religious theme more than I realize. I think it's because I want names that exude history and strength. Alice and Conrad really don't have that feeling for me - but Helen, Anton, Jonas, Miriam, Ezra do. Weird.

I tried for Helen.
It got shot down so quickly. At this point, I'm hoping I end up married to someone else. :-D (J/K)
I love:
Anton
Noble - mainly because I have a great uncle named Royal and Noble would remind me of him
Victor nn Vic - very cool, but Vic wouldn't fly.
Arthur - we both love the name it. However, it's the name of my grandfather, and he's not a nice person.
Amabel - I love, but always shot down.
Fern - my grandmother's name. I never had an issue with her, but my Aunt and Mother did. If I used Fern, I'm not sure my mother would forgive me.
It's interesting: A lot of people recommened Rose, Victor, Peter, Ruth, and Anton.

Yes, my husband explained about Cohen. (Husband is middle Eastern.)

Other names that fit in? Hhhmmm, that's actually tough for me to answer because Miriam and Jonas are two of my favorite names and I'm very tempted to take the easy way out and write "Any name on my favorites list." But enough babbling, it's thinking cap time.

I absolutely love the name Jonas. Miriam isn't a favourite - I prefer Meredith - but it fits well with Jonas. I know a Jonas who has a sister called Milly, if that helps.
Some other names that sound like the same kind of 'type' to me:
Phoebe
Eliza
Annabel
Georgia
Kerry
Leonie
Bonnie
Autumn
Crystal
Piper
Janelle
Iris
Grier
Harriet
Tyrone
Diego
Oliver
Victor
Vincent
Scott
Hamish
Zachary "Zach"
Ezra
Hayden
Geoffrey "Geoff" (or Jeffrey)
Solomon
Jonathan
Elias
Not necessarily all names that I like, but ones that I think would work with Jonas. Personally, I think Jonas and Ezra sound great!

I love both Miriam and Jonas -- great choices.
My favorite mn with Miriam is Susanna, pronounced "soo-SAH-na." Perhaps it could work as a sibling too.
Other suggestions for siblings to Miriam and Jonas:
Sylvia, Eve / Eva, Rose, Sibyl, Renata, Fredrika, Simone, Gabrielle, Petra, Greta, Lena, Rebecca, Cornelia (Nell), Peter, Benedict, Henry, Kurt, Fredrik, Stephen / Stefan, Erik, Isaac, Max, August, Anton, Oscar / Oskar.
Miriam and Jonas seem to make me channel Scandinavian names. Weird.
