I qiute like the simplicity of John, myself, it's my SO's second middle and one of our sons as well. I haven't met a small child named John in at least 18 years so while it may be "archetypal" to anyone over the age of 20, is isn't these days. It is still in the top 20 (if you check SSA's site) but it's kind of like Samantha. I don't meet any little Samanthas at all, yet it's in the top 10! A John today is likely to be the only one in his class. His peers are more likely to be Ian, Sean, Evan, Jack or Jonathan than another John.

I also love the nickname Jack, but only as a nickname.
