Personal experiences with the name Joah: | Edit

I named my son Joah on 12/31/07. I have another son named Jace and wanted a unique but not made up name. I also love the fact that it is a biblical name no matter how obscure, meaning brother of God. It is short but has personality, rarely used, but has a great sound. It fits my son well. Joah was a last minute decision for us, but I have not regretted his name at all. He receives compliments often.

My son is Joah, middle name Bryce. Born 5/22/98. I love it and so does everyone else. It so fits him. I wanted a different "J" name and I went to the Bible. He does get called Noah, Jonah and Josh but as he isn't afraid to correct people politely!
