I like this as a nickname but as a full name it's way too childish and informal. That's why I only like it if it's a nickname for John or Jonathan.

I have always had a fondness for Johnny as a nickname for John (or Jonathan). Jack is nice, too. It is pleasant, youthful, fetching, sturdy, and won't sacrifice having a more "polished" name in a professional setting, since it (hopefully) is only being used as a diminutive (although, Johnny could still probably work if he really wanted to go by it- that just furthermore proves that it is a great, versatile sobriquet).

I like John, but I don't like this nickname. Johnny doesn't sound childish; instead I'll gripe about the image it gives me. It gives me two unpleasant images: the first is of a redneck, and the second is of an arrogant blond guy who harasses and beats up innocent people. The latter is probably due to the evil Johnny Lawrence from The Karate Kid. Please don't call your kid Johnny.

I personally think this name is great. It's adorable, but not feminine. My dad's name is John, and his parents and siblings call him Johnny. I think it's more interesting than plain John. I know a few Johns and Jonathans, and I always like to nickname them Johnny if they let me. =]
