John

[Sophronia]

I think it’s a strong classic that would be an unusual choice for a baby nowadays, but is it still too plain/boring? I’d probably use a more uncommon middle name.

Thanks!

Due for a comeback I'd say.

Can't go wrong with it.

I like it. There are no Johns in my sons class.

I prefer Jon, it seems a bit more modern.

Good old-fashioned classic manly name.

I really like it. It’s one of my middle name options.

Yes! Great choice. Can remember meeting 3 kids who'd be somewhere under 10 now named it, but very unusual - I think they were using family names.

Perfect - DS15 is John, he's been the only 'John' so far in his peer group, and added bonus is it's short and easy when they are learning to write.

Very nice and due a comeback.

I love it.

It’s a great name.

I love John. It’s a strong name that a boy can build from.

Seems very positive so far! Any middle name suggestions?

Fab name! Suits any age!

With John, the possibilities are endless!

My son is 5 and in P1. There's 2 Johns in his class

John, what a great name !

Love it. I'd go for Jonathan as a long name.

We chose it as a middle name for our DS and I was a bit gutted we couldn't use it when DS2 came along.

Jonathan Daniel?
Jonathan Michael?
Jonathan James
John William (but Jonathan William seems too much of a mouthful)

We also liked Robert, Peter, James and Edward.

John Henry
John Roland
John Francis
John Norman
John Victor
John Mathias
John Lysander
John Bruce

It's a great name. Hardly used now but a solid classic.

Wouldn't recommend Thomas as middle name though

John is fab strong and classic name it would suit a baby, boy and man. Many middle names would go well with it.
John Michael
John James
John Henry
John Benjamin
John Albert
John Arthur
Avoid John Thomas though 😂 😂

I love it, it’s DS middle name

I prefer Jon/Jonathan, but I agree with others that is it a lovely name.

Middle names... part of me would be tempted by Jonathan Ronald or John Reuel if you're a Tolkien fan (I know it's John Ronald Reuel but I think Jonathan Ronald flows better). I do quite like Reuel.

Other middles names to go with John/Jon/Jonathan:
Edward
Gratian
Alexis
Clement
Stellan

John's a great name.

I'm not a fan of Jon or Jonathan though.

John Maurice!

To me John is a classic name, but yeah people aren't naming their kids that anymore. I don't think John is boring. John is a name which grows well with a child into an adult. Also there are nicknames like Jonno/Johnny/Jay that make the name a little more interesting.
My brother is called John, and I've always thought it's a nice standard, in-offensive name that he can't be judged by.
