Re: Jonah
in reply to a message by namefan5000
I know a Jonah who is ten and Jewish.
His sibling's name is a totally non-Jewish-sounding popular surname name, though, so I don't really associate the name with him being Jewish.
Jonah is not at all to my taste (sounds too archaic, and too feminine as well) but it's not bad, it's in fashion, possibly even headed for great popularity.
I would not expect a totally non-religious person to use it, but neither would I be surprised if one did.
