Which of these names do you like best?

Question

Christian or Johnathan?
and Why?

Answer 1

Christian, Johnathan is a bit boring.

Answer 2

I like Johnathan the best. Christian is a nice name too, but I don't prefer it.

Answer 3

Christian i don´t like johnathan

Answer 4

I like both names quite a bit, so it's hard to choose.

The shortcoming I see with Christian is that the likely nickname is Chris. I don't care for it - and, BTW, neither does my brother Christian! The one possible nickname is Ian, but that's kind of a stretch.

So if you're anti-nickname, Christian probably works best for you.

Personally, I'm pro-nickname, so I'd use Johnathan. (Though I think I'd go with Jonathan.) That way, he could be Jon, Jonny, Jack, Nat or Nate, depending on what seemed to suit him best. And he could be different things over the course of his life. I like a flexible name.

Best wishes!

Answer 5

I say go with Christian. It's really cute, and there are way too many johnathan's.

Answer 6

of the two Johnathan
just sounds better to me

Answer 7

I really like both. That's a tough one to decide between, but I would probably pick Johnathan.

Answer 8

if i had to choose i'd pick Christian, but it makes me think of a girl.
Another version of Johnathan is Ivan

Answer 9

i like christian because johnathan is alot more common then christian. jonathan sounds more of a middle name then a first name tooo

Answer 10

I like Jonathan (never seen it spelt with the h before). Christian is a nice enough name when used in full, but the nickname Chris doesn't appeal to me at all, so that would discourage me from using that name. Jon or John are okay, but Chris- no so much.
