I much prefer
John to
Jonathan.
I don't know why, but I've always found
Jonathan to be annoying, in a whiney sort of way.
John, on the other hand, is strong and gentle, not boring in the least.
John is a still-waters-run-deep kind of name. Growing up, I thought I'd either have a dh or a son named
John.
Since you've got
Sean and
Evan in your top name list, why not use one of those variants of
John instead of
Jonathan?
