Re: Jonah
in reply to a message by Perrine
Compared to Jonah, Joe would be a merciful release.
Jonah is so connected to the Sad Sack of the Bible that I find it difficult to imagine on a living being. And since it's also acquired the reputation of Bringer Of Bad Luck (ask any sailor), I think either Joseph or, more refreshingly, Joel would be a much nicer way of achieving a son called Joe.
