What are your thoughts on Jonathan? Which spelling do you prefer - Jonathan or Johnathan

I like the shortenings Jonty and John but not so keen on Nathan or Jonny / Jonno

Nice name. I’d spell Jonathan. Jon is the shortening imo. Jonty is a name in its own right

@Consufed sorry what do you mean by Jonty being 'affected'?

I think Jonathan is the usual spelling by far. John (or Jon) is nice but Jonty is affected IMO.
