Re: Twins
in reply to a message by Bear
Other than the Biblical figure whose patience was tested? I do know a Job from Mexico, and there are times I think someone is saying Hope when they say his name. I prefer Job without the e at the end. But, I don't think I would use it personally. But I'm not a huge fan of overly Biblical names for some reason. Maybe I know too many Isaiahs, Elijahs, Malakais, etc.

Yes, I did know about Job. I just thought perhaps Jobe (the way RandomBet is pronouncing it, with two syllables) could be some different name entirely, or a variant from the Netherland, for example. I hate to completely rule out a name and then have the original poster come back and tell me it's a name that's been in their family for twelve generations from Poland, or it's a family surname, etc. I was leaving the door open to be convinced, that's all. But thanks for the assist. :-)
I never thought about a Spanish pronunciation for Job. That would be something to get used to.
