[Opinions] Jorma
Recently I've seen a new reporter on the USA cable TV network The Weather Channel named Jorma Duran. His full name is Jorma Brandon Duran. This site says that Jorma is a Finnish form of Jeremiah. Mr. Duran is rather photogenic, as shown by this picture from the website of the local TV station in Florida he worked for before he got his job at TWC:http://www.nbc-2.com/AboutUs/Bios/jormaduran.shtmlI'm wondering if expectant parents who see this guy on TWC might not just think that Jorma is a great "different but not too different" twist on Joshua and Jordon. What do you think of this name? Do you think it has potential to become a regularly used name in the USA, especially if Mr. Duran moves on up to an even more visible venue at a bigger network?
