John ?

[NightSkyWanderer]

Yay or nay ?

Yes

I know sooo many Johns that I find it dull and overused.

Hope your surname isn't a common one like Smith

Love John, Jon or Jonathan spelt sons name Johnathan now know as Johnny now older.

Nice solid name.

I have a brother called John, I like it!

A classic, and I think overdue a comeback.

In my mind it is if a similar vintage to Paul, Andrew, Simon and Peter, all of which I think will come storming back to popularity over the next ten years.

Give us t another 15-20 years.

The current Johns and Pauls are only aged 60 ish.

I know loads of Johns in their 30s-40s. Great name!

Yep, John has been a top 100 name since we started keeping name records many hundreds of years ago. It only fell out of the top 100 in the 2010’s so there are bound to still be plenty of John’s only in their twenties about. It’s hardly a dated “old man” name - just a lot less commonly heard on young kids than it used to be! I love it’s simplicity, plenty of nn’s (Johnny, Jack etc) and that’s there are loads of great historical namesakes.

Boooo-ring.

John is soo boring

Hope your surname isn't Smith or Lewis

Handsome. Nice change from all the frilly twee boy names.

Love it - a very strong not common boys name. Classic and under rated.

Its in the same camp as Edward for me.

I have no clue what your on about ((goes off to tiktok to investigate))

I think Malcolm will come back before too long. I know one baby Malcolm. It is a grumpy old man name but has history, used by Shakespeare etc. I think it'll be there in the 2030s!

If I was up in court and my solicitor was called John, I'd feel a damn sight more confident in his abilities than if he was called Jaxxon or Bear. Names do say a lot (and I know they shouldn't...).

Yay
