Honest opinions please... what do you think of this name?

Honestly, I wouldn't choose it for my own child, but saying that, it's totally up to you and your husband what you name him. The only advice I can give you is to stand in the living room with your hands on your hips and in a stern voice say, Jonah Sailor!!! If it sounds right, by all means name him that. Also, call him in for supper..lol..it sounds weird but when I was pregnant with my firstborn, my aunt suggested that I open the front door and call my child in for supper with the name I was wanting...so stand on the step and say, Jonah Sailor...supper!..just try to do it when the neighbours aren't around..lol. Good luck!

I think it will sound more like a title then a name. I dont like it but it's your son. Me and my husband couldnt decide on a boys name for the life of us. i am really glad we had a girl. I liked the boys name Aiddon. But he liked some dorky names lol. Good luck and let us know what you end up naming him :)

Honestly I don't like it either, it isn't that I don't like Sailor I think it is kind of cute but it doesn't seem to flow with Jonah ( I like names that sound good together) But as many have said it isn't our child and if it is what you like than go with it. As another poster pointed out it does sound a little titleish. But hey you got celebritys naming their kids Apple and such. Your child your decision. And I want to add congrats on the new addition to your family

i think its a unique name. for me its a beautiful name. people will curious why they give that name. they will ask whats the meaning of that name. and i think its fine. when im going to have a baby soon i will goin to add the name blue...

I think that is a very nice name, If i could of given my son a different name I would have. He was suppose to be a girl and I did not have a name picked out for a boy. So my husband just looked at him and we both agreed..He is now Michael John..Took us 2 days to figure out a name for him and we gave him a common name. But I like the name you are to give your son it very unusual!!! Congrats on the pregnancy!!!

Honest opinion? I don't like it. 2nd honest opinion? He's not my son. 3rd, and most important opinion? If you like the name, go for it! It's hard to gauge from a stranger's opinion what you should name your own child. I'm not Biblically educated but wasn't Jonah a sailor so wouldn't it be almost redundant to have a "sailor sailor"? Could you find another Biblical name that might work just as equally.

Even if he is not my son if I like the name and the middle name why not. He's got a nice name but sailor is not good for me, I guess it would be nice if it is Seasee, his name is derived from the sea as jonah from the bible. Am I right? Hmmmn...:D

You want us to be honest right? Well I don't really care for it, but its not my child. I understand the importance of choosing something unique. I hope you go with it just because it is so unique. Good Luck and Congrats.

I don't care for it either. I think of "job" names as being last names. Traditionally, that's what they were. When people started needing last names, they used whatever their job was. But it's up to you and your husband what you're going to name him. It's probably not that big of a deal, cause most people don't go around using their middle names. He'd just become Jonah S. Lastname.

I think if you like it you should go with it. I regret not giving my daughters their middle names as they really like them, but I didn't put them on their birth certificate. They are unusual too. My eldest daughter is called Abbie Moonstar and my youngest is Olivia Morning Sunrise

I love the name Jonah, but i'm not a fan of Sailor. Also, say "Jonah Sailor" out loud. It sounds like "Jonas Ailor" Honestly, I think he would get teasted for that middle name. A lot of kids get teased for their middle names so that shouldn't be your only reason not to use it. I think my main concern with the name would be how it sounds...the Jonas thing. While Jonas is also a nice name, you picked Jonah and I wouldn't want his name to sound like something else. Congrats on your pregnancy btw! When are you due? I'm due with a little girl (Lorelai) June 1. :)

Jonah, biblically is a Hebrew name. He's a prophet and not a sailor. He decided to disobey God (he was commanded to spread the word of God to Nineveh-- inhabited by the Assyrians which Jonah hated so much because of their brutality). I think Jonah Sailor is not appropriate. Maybe you can search the Hebrew word or a Latin word of 'sailor' to connect the first name. I hope you agree with me, it's just a suggestion.

I like the name Jonah.. but I don't particularly liked 'Sailor'.. Kids can be soooo cruel, and the worst part of it is that you won't be able to protect your son when he gets teased at school.. Anyway, that's just my opinion... if you have a special reason for choosing 'Sailor', then I say go for it..

its great

Well it is your decision. However...I am not really into that name...something else would be more appropriate...

hello there!! I read your thread and i thought about this long and hard..and it snot a bad name..but for me persoanlly i wouldnt do that to my child..let me explain..kids,teens,and adults can be cruel..and i want you to rememebr what it was like if you were picked on..This is what his nickname will be and will follow him tmaybe his whole life,,,ok ready?....HEY! ITS JONAH THE SAILOR MANNN!! TOOT TOOT!!!! ....yess,,they will..and i dont want to sound mean because im not..my name is April..And my favorite color has always been purple..i alkways wore purple ...and when i was 10 yrs old this nick name started..GRAPE APE..then in my teen..GRAPE APE..BEEGLY BEEGLY!!! remeber the cartoon? I hated my parents for most my life for naming me this..and April isnt really and ofd name now that im grown..but it has stuck with me..and im afraid that he will do the same and go threw what i went threw..soo like i said..i dont see anything wrong with it.and i know its important to you..but you have to remember and think..do i want to do this to my child? Plz dont be offened if i did,,this wasnt ment to..I just wanted to let you know what could happen..take care and Congrats on the baby!! and let me know in April how hes doing plz..:)

I think it would be better if u keep jonah as sailor is some what odd when compared to jonah.

I think it is unique and very nice but its up to you. Your the one who is naming the baby. I think whatever name you and your husband choose for him will be just the right name for the baby. Congrats to you!!

I don't think its bad at all! When I got pregnant the second time I wanted to name the baby Drake William the second name would have been after my husbands grandfather and all my husband could say about it was that he would be called Duck Bill! So you know there are obviously alot worse! I would have still named him that had the baby been a boy! But I got another girl and I get so much flack about my girls' names but I DON'T care I like them and I think if thats the name you want then go for it! Neither one are very popular which is something you have to be careful about nowdays. someone said Sailor sounded like a last name what about Bailey that is my maternal grandmothers last name and how many little girls have that as a first name now days? I say GO FOR IT!

Hi! i think i'll really be delighted if you can give that name to your son-i am myself a sailor for past 9 years -thats how i have been earning my bread n butter-even in my childhood my favourite cartoon character was Popeye the sailorman-but i think there are some misconceptions surrounding a "sailor"
