What kind of person do you picture as a...
I can't picture it as anything actually, as I have no one to work off of that has that name. I suppose I could see it as anything but a teenager though. I think he would end up going by Zay as a nn.Better as a first name or middle name? Middle nameAny other comments? It reminds me of "No way Jose" because Jose sounds a bit like Hosea.

I love Hosea! I can picture it on any age. My combo is Hosea Ezekiel.

THAT'S how you pronounce it!I like it a lot.Umm this is the hard part. I think it fits all ages, but no specific image comes to mind. I've never met one, but I'd really like to. (So, better as a first name, but also excellent as a middle name.) I think it's way more interesting than Isaiah.I think I'm going to add it to my list now. Thanks! :)

I know a family who adopted a Hispanic baby named José. They changed his name to Hosea, so that is who I picture when I see the name.I personally don't like the name. The "Ho" in the beginning bothers me. I like Isaiah better, but neither are my style.
