Have to admit that no-one has named their baby boy John in any of the new born in the family, (perhaps second name after father or grandfather) but not as a first name which most will only be known as. To be honest, I don't know of any of the dozen or so new born of friends families being called John either. Plenty of adult Johns but not little ones. The same with Joan for little girls.
