John Thomas is British slang for a penis.
I am John, as was my father. My great grandfather was Johannes. My great-great grandfather was Johan. I have a grandson whose middle name is John. I love the way we keep a name going through the generations.
I think John is a traditionally, strong, classy, masculine boy’s name! I realize ‘John’ is one of those names to remain trendy, popular, common, and overused at all times. That’s what caused it to seem like such a very boring and plain name. The reason why John has always been such a typical name is because it’s lovely, elegant, handsome, noble, and its got so much meaning behind it. It’s a really nice name for a MALE! I know this ‘masculine’ name had some rare feminine usage back then, but that doesn’t make it a ‘female’ name or a unisex name. You COULD name a girl John, but that doesn’t mean you SHOULD. I love this name, but ONLY for guys! I wouldn’t use it, but it’s a nice name!

Ian (Scottish), Ivan (Russian), Evan (Welsh), Yanni (Greek), and Vanya (Russian) are all other forms of John. I know at least one person with each of these names; one friend of mine even goes by all of them.

In 2018, 42 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) John who is registered female* with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 590th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens. *to some extent, I think this can be explained by incorrect data entry or forms filled out wrong during application; since John has been a popular male name for millennia, it stands to reason that by sheer numbers, more John applicants would be entered incorrectly as female. But certainly there are girls & women named John, too.

John was so popular in the past! 29% of men were named John from at least 1530-1700. John also used to be way more popular as the whole first name, not a nickname for Jonathan. Both are good in my opinion.
John is considered one of the most traditional boys names and has been very popular for over a century.
