Jonah or Jonas
Which do you like better? I'm leaning more towards Jonah. Self proclaimed Supernatural obsessor.

JonasWhen given the choice I almost always prefer an "s" ending over an "a" ending, as in Isaias over Isaiah.

JonasWhat Array said.
Jonah sounds a bit whiney (joe-NAH...), though my husband puts a funny emphasis on Jonas and Tobias- so where I'll say JOE-nuss/JOE-niss and toe-BY-iss, he says joe-NASS and toe-BY-ass. He's the only one I've ever heard say them that way, though- I still much prefer Jonas!sa

I used to love Jonah, and then one day I started liking Jonas. Jonah is still very connected to the fish story in the Bible for me, while Jonas seems sort of "fresh".

I prefer Jonas, there's too many -h ending names for boys right now.

I prefer Jonah, I really like this name :-)

Jonah is more likely to become popular, IMO. So I prefer Jonas, because it has the less trendy sound. Plus, Jonas has Jonas Salk and Jonas of the classic The Giver behind it. Jonah has a guy who was swallowed by a whale. There's no comparison, ha.Array

I think I like Jonas better, just because I like the look. They are so close that I love them both, pretty equally ~~Kris~~

This is really difficult because I really like them equally. I would probably go with Jonas though because it's a little less popular and Jonah appears to be on the rise in popularity. However, I don't know if popularity matters to you because it doesn't always to me. :) Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. - Anne Frank

I'm kind of picky with girls names and popularity, but not so much with boys names. I'm still on the fence with this, though. Self proclaimed Supernatural obsessor.
