Middle names for Jonah

All wivestales and superstitions point towards this baby being a boy. Right now our only boy option is [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]. I really like it, DH seems to like it a lot, and I’ve gotten positive feedback from the couple of friends that I’ve mentioned it to. Trouble is we can’t think of any middles! Any suggestions? While you’re at it, do you berries prefer [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] over [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]?

I prefer [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] over [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]

For middles I like:

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Bruce[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Deveraux[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Ferguson[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Brooks[/name_m]

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]

Thanks for the ideas!

I like [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Devereaux[/name_m] but hubby would hate it! He’s pretty vanilla in his name choices. I’ve had a hard time getting him to like anything uncommon.

Also liking [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] as that’s DH’s first name, but he’s being weird about passing it on so not sure if he’ll go for it.

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] really is lovely :slight_smile:

I like both.

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Zander[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Yeats[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Killian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Hart[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] (too much [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Lowry[/name_f]?)
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Tim[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Ben[/name_m]

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] is on my list for a boy and we’d almost certainly pick [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] as a middle as it keeps it Old Testament themed, makes it feel classic and grounded and flows beautifully.
There are some lovely suggestions here though!

I prefer [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] to [name_m]Jonas[/name_m].

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Whittaker[/name_m]

I think [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] is much nicer than [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]. Good middle names could be

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Abram[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Liam[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m]

Generally I think Biblical names go best with other biblical names.

Def prefer [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] to [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]. For more non biblical options, I like

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrik[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]March[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] is lovely! Personally, I prefer the slightly less biblical [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], but they’re quite similar. I would say that you could keep your options open and go with the one that fits best with the middle :slight_smile: Here are some suggestions:

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m]

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Callen[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_u]Paxton[/name_u]

With [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], you can use more consonant heavy middles, or if you want to use a ‘vowelly’ middle name, go for [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]!

Good luck :slight_smile:

I adore [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]! It’s one of my favorite names and I would love to use it if I ever have a boy. My cousin (who I would be naming my future son after) is [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], which I love. I think that most names sound great with [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], but I agree with the previous poster who said they like it with other biblical names - I think [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] sounds great with them! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I love [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], but prefer [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] because [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] in the Bible is a tough story and he isn’t someone I would want to name a son after. If you aren’t [name_m]Christian[/name_m] or Jewish it probably won’t matter to you, but if you are then make sure to read the story. [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] basically does everything he can to run away from God and disobey him, then he gets mad at God for showing mercy to people rather than killing them all. We really liked [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] for our son, but we couldn’t get past the story so we didn’t use it.
