Jonah.

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

Jonah!

I LOVE Jonah, but loathe Jonas. It sounds so harsh and ugly to me.

Jonas...

What 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!

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".

Jonah

Jonas, but I like both.

i would say jonas because whenever i hear jonah i think of jonah from the bible and think of 'the story of jonah'

Jonah, definitely.

Jonas

Jonah love it

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.

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

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. :)
