Do more names! :D permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Rothe@piefed.social 5 points 9 months ago It is not very accurate though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] M137@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago (2 children) It's not true at all though... John is one name, the ones written here are just other (similar) names. Same as some people being named Alex and others Alexander. In Swedish John and Johan are both very common and never used interchangeably, and I'm very sure it's the same everywhere else. This whole post is just dumb. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Benaaasaaas@group.lt 3 points 9 months ago It's the local name for the bible's John permalink fedilink source parent [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago Regardless, it IS various languages' ways of saying John. People are free to use other languages' terms if they like, and many do. permalink fedilink source parent
