That bald dome made the moniker adorable for me! I like that ‘z’ sound in the middle, I love that you don’t run into him everywhere you go, plus I had a childish juvenile inside joke with somebody many moons ago about “Hosea”.

I was not aware that it meant “salvation”; a plus for many parents out there.

Great name!

Personally, I don’t find it too overly religious, but then again, I like quite a few Biblical boy names (often BECAUSE they are Biblical). While I don’t love Hosea for myself, I could appreciate it on another’s youngster…

Overall, not bad. Hosea is a-ok with me :)

(sorry, bad joke). Raised Roman Catholic, this one’s a bit too religious for me. But I do like his sound, fun to say, ho-ZAY-ah. yeah. I like him but not enough to use him. I’d be pleased to meet one, or more, though. ho-ZAY-ah, Fun! :D

But his name intrigues me. Hosea Turtledove in particular is a really fantastic name I won’t soon forget!

I like Jose better, I’m not big on Hosea at all. It’s too religious for my taste, and I can just hear the “hose bag” taunts.
