Help[Opinions] Re: Jonah
in reply to a message by ADT
Not a lot. I like Joe (one of the friendliest nns around) and to arrive at it I'd happily use Joseph or Joel.
Jonah's biblical story is, unfortunately, one that everybody knows. His career as a prophet was unsuccessful and his career as the rejected lunch of a marine mammal is pretty uninspiring too. He is proverbially a piece of bad luck - and even if one doesn't believe in the OT, God or bad luck, it's not a cheerful association to hang around a baby's neck.
