    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.
