My husband is Jonas and I have always LOVED his name. My Grandma was convinced he was Jonah for a while
Sarah
I named my son Jonas. He is 8 now and loves his name. It sounds cool and doesn't have any unpleasant nicknames. However, he does get frustrated that he can't find little trinkets with his name on them the way that children with more common names can.
Aaron
Named our son Jonas, after first hearing it on a song by Weezer. Worst thing about it is after we named him, suddenly discovered that Hollywood loves to use that name for bad guys in many movies, especially in the late 90'and early 2000s.

Only for Jonass!
