[Opinions] Hosea
I'm reading about the prophet Hosea and he seems like a fascinating character. What do you think of his name? I say it "ho-ZAY-ah".

I love this name.
There was actually a boy named Hosea in my kindergarten / first grade class. I remember thinking it was a common name because of that until I moved away and never heard of it again. It’s nice, breezy, airy...there’s just something about it that puts it in the meh category for me though.
It's ok, I pronounce it ho Zye a
It's so much fun to say! It's like a breeze. I love it.
It reminds me of: Jose, Joshua, Amos; Hosea Williams; dusty pink-red and date palms. I think when I was little, I got it mixed up with Hosanna occasionally.
It's slightly interesting to me because of the pink association and the civil rights leader. Mostly I don't really like it, though I could probably warm up to it.

Hosea is kind of a GP of mine, I love the sound but well, I think the "ho" first syllable might draw teasing from kids. Maybe I'm overthinking it though.
I think Hosea is a gorgeous name, very handsome. Great meaning too. I pronounce it the same way as you.
