Re: Jonah
in reply to a message by namefan5000
I LOVE Jonah! He's recently dropped from my top boys to second place (switched with Reuben).
I went to a Christian school aged 4-11 but don't identify myself as Christian now I'm an adult. Because of my childhood though I do associate Jonah slightly with the Christian Bible story. However, I would still willingly use this name and justify myself to anybody who confronts me or my child for not being Christian - I think in this day and age, while respect is still important, fluidity across genders/religion/cultures is really important and increasingly common!
