because I had it on my boys' list with out last pregnancy to honor my Dad, whose name is simply
John, but he has always complained that simply
John is
too simple. So I wanted to give my son his name and still perk it up as he would wish. Moot point, he's
Gideon Brody. But I still prefer
Johnathan. I like the name a lot either way.
My kid would probably have ended up Jonjon as a baby and
John as an adult, in terms of nn's.
