John ?

[NightSkyWanderer]

Yay or nay ?

Lovely. Classy.

John is nice and due a revival.

Jowan is the Cornish form of John 😊

John is a great name.

Yes, that kind of makes sense in some ways. I just think it’s a shame there aren’t so many Johns anymore. I like Jack and many of the different national variations of John - but love the “original” too!

If both Henry and Harry, Theodore and Theo etc can both be popular at the same time, then we can have more John’s as well as Jack’s!

This is nice. Sounds like Ieuan which I guess is the Welsh version of John.

just looked at DC’s Y11 register and not a single John out of 300 kids. There was a Johny playing in the same age group’s rugby game we watched today though.

@namechangefornames , Ieuan is a Welsh form of John, but there are many others. Ioan is more similar to Jowan.

as is Iwan.

My son is Oliver John, after my late father, John. I love it.

I love it. I wish there were more little John's running around. I'm expecting another boy and wondering if we should lead the way and go with this name.

No old fashioned in a ‘Derrick, Malcom, roger’ kind of way. But it’s inoffensive, just very dull.

John’s nothing like Derek, Malcolm or Roger! They’re stuck in their time and only in their time (well, Derek and Malcolm are.)

It’s more like Peter, Mark or David: a solid timeless name. I think they’re all classy in a way that ‘interesting’ names can never be.

But it’s all opinion.

There are still FAR too many middle aged Johns around. Like Steve, Mike or Derek, I find them all dull and overused.

In 15-20 years these names might sound fresh again.

It's my dad's name. Don't do what my grandma did though and give him the middle name Thomas as he has been embarrassed with that for 60 years.

Due a revival, along with Paul and Peter.

Yay. And will be very unusual by the time any baby grows up.
My brother is Jonathan, known as Jon and gets compliments a lot on his name. Classic, works at all ages, stages, generations.

Jonnie or Jonno , cute and nice on a grown man

I prefer Jonathan/Jon. A bit less dated than John I think.

Love it. We would have called one of our DDs John had either been a boy.

My favourite boys' name! It's a yay from me.

Love it! Fantastic name! Give me a name like John any day over silly Arlo or Teddy.

Please use it! John is a fabulous name - solid, classic and completely forgotten about in a modern world full of Arlos, Teddys, Archies, Alfies and Jaxons. Be a John! (light-hearted!)

I love it, but only because we have a ver dear friend named John (57). Not sure I can imagine giving a baby this name.

Lovely. Jonathan even better.

John is manly, well known and with much history.
I like that it is not over used right now.
John is best version to me.

John - Jock, Jonty, Johnny, Jack, Johno
Jonathon - Jon, Jonny, Jonno
Jonathan - Jon, Jonny, Nathan,
