While I don't agree that this name is horrible, it is, however, it is such a very overused name in the Spanish speaking world and community that it appears dull. Overall, I think this name should be allowed to stay in retirement for a while until it becomes fresh again after a number of decades.

It's kinda a nice name honestly. Looks and even sounds masculine. The only problem I have with it is that it's very overused in a lot of Spanish speaking areas. Otherwise, I like it.

In Spanish it's pronounced (Hoo-an) Idk why English don’t pronounce the J but it doesn’t sound good when they say (wan) it sounds wrong, so please pronounce the J which makes an H sound.

Reminds me of the line from Les Miserables:
You talk of battles to be won, yet here he comes like Don Juan, it’s better than an opera!
NOTE: in this line, Juan is pronounced ju-WAN, not the traditional HWAN.

Juan is a very common name in the Hispanic world that one would encounter on a regular basis as you would a Jose, Pablo, Pedro, Maria or Ana. It is not a bad name at all and I do appreciate this variant of John that is further amplified by its unique spelling and pronunciation.

Juan Díaz de Garayo y Ruiz de Argandoña, also known as "The Sacamantecas", was a Spanish serial killer active near Vitoria, Álava, who strangled five women and a 13-year-old girl, and attacked four other women during two different periods, 1870 to 1874 and 1878 to 1879. A lust-motivated serial killer, Garayo first killed prostitutes after hiring and sleeping with them consensually, but grew more disorganized and violent as time went on, attacking, raping and murdering women that he saw walking alone in the country. His last two victims, murdered in consecutive days, were also stabbed, and the second was disemboweled.

I suppose there could be a joke about twins named Juan and Ahmal, but it's not the version I've heard. Before starting, I should mention that I in no way support racism of any kind. Okay, Here it goes:
There is no difference between hispanic and black jokes. If you've heard Juan, you've heard Jamal.
I suppose there could be other, less racist versions of the joke out there, but I'm pretty sure this is the original.
