HelpRe: Jonah
in reply to a message by Perrine
My image of Jonah is distorted by being acquainted with a Jonah who is my daughter's friend. He's 11.
Yes it does sound wimpy. But I don't think it has to. It depends on the bearer. I guess I think it suits a bookish sort of person better than a jockish sort of person, but ... not to the point that it's stereotyped. The sound of it just seems prone to being brooding.
It's easy enough to say Jonah, sounds natural and not Weird. Not my style though, too bibley.
Nickname Joe would work, if it worked for that particular person. The Jonah I know only lets his mother call him that.
