My son’s name is Jonas, but we call him Jojo.
We named our son Jonas and we frequently call him Jonesy or Joney, but mostly we stick with Jonas.
In Sweden, the nickname would be Jon (pronounced more like ‘yoon’, though).
I have always wanted my nickname to be Jonesy but I have never met another Jonas who likes that nickname! How sweet.
Also, what a trip, do you also speak Swedish? Because same and vad kul
Call me Edge.
