Johnny?

[CurlyKiwiControl]

Any opinions welcome :)

Great.

Short for Jonathan.

Not as a stand alone name.

in my head it always means a condom - sorry

Johnny, we're sorry, won't you come on home.

I like it. I also like Jonathan, but not John.

Maybe all opinions apart from "not on the bc" type and condom types though

I love the name Johnny.

Johnny Cash
Johnny Marr
Johnny Depp
Johnny Ramone

And is there a better song than Johnny B.Goode?? No there isn't!

I agree squooch, it's pretty cool me thinks

Jonathan is vile though. Nothing wrong with John.

Is that your way of saying it would be a stand alone name.......

It sounds incomplete if that's it in it's entirety. Definitely a nickname sort of name.

I know of a few young Johnnys - toddler through to teens. It's nice. Sporty and cool.

Yes, I like it

In a round about way, yes, it's s stand alone name bowlersarm :)

johnny test... kids tb show, my boys like it.

perfectly ok name :)

Agreed - a condom. Also know a seriously creepy adult Johnny.

"Heeeere's johnnnnny!"

My Johnny won't be creepy

Love the name Johnny.

Very cool. Very. I know two Jonnies. One is an artist. The other is a gorgeous, blond haired surfer dude.

Boden

A Johnnie proposed to me once. He was lovely. I like it a lot.

Boden good? Boden bad?

Brilliant to hear of these cool j's ...

Love it. I know an adorable toddler called Johnny! Uncommon without being weird.

Definitely use John though. Jonathan is a ridiculous name. Like Susanathon or Charlottathon. Just unnecessary.

If our baby is a boy he'll be Jonny, hadn't thought about those other famous Johnnies above, our inspiration initially was Jonny Wilkinson!

I like Jonathan! John is fine, but maybe a bit plain and short?

I don't like it though you obviously do so that's what matters.

It's an awesome name. I know a very cool Johnny though so I'm sure I'm influenced in part by that. I also really like Jonathan and John. Jonathan is a good, strong, employable name (I never care whether a name sounds 'employable' but my husband always thinks of this...) and Johnny is a very cool nn.

Its one of those names I love for specific reasons, mostly The Outsiders and Mr Cash. But I know the condom connotation would always concern me slightly and would mean DH would say no.

But, once DS is here and it becomes who he is I suspect all less favourable connotations would fade away
