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.

Only for Jonass!
