John, Johnny or Jonny?! Help!!

[Rebe90]

Opinions on John, Johnny or Jonny please! Perhaps with Eric as a middle name? Like the idea of Johnny the most at the moment but opinions welcomed please :)

Jonathon always sounds a bit too sensible and boring. John is making a comeback as a classic name, I like it a lot. Then to be known as Jonnie , has character.

How old are the people thinking Jonathan sounds more boring than John? When I was growing up 80% of boys were John, Dave, Rick/ Rich or Steve. All now in their 40s and 50s now - the names are dull as ditch water and middle aged to my ear now, not old enough to be grandad cool names, just beige and boring and mundane.

I prefer John to Jonathan.

Dd1 would have been Jon (spelt that way).

John is a great name, it's getting popular again (i know 4 under the age of six now) all called Johnny or JonJon.

Johnny should be from John or Johnathon.
Jonny should be from Jonathan.

Johnny Rotten, Johnny Ramone, Johnny Depp. It's a cool name. I prefer John to Jonathan.

Go for Johnathan or Jonathan and then he can choose whatever shortening he likes!

Not Johnathan - it looks like you can't spell. I know there are probably several Johnathans and Jonothons but Jonathan is the best way to spell it.
