I still wouldn't now, would you? First name and surname, or initials and surname, but not both.

I may possibly not be a true Brit. Mind you, judging by the predominance for liking coffee as demonstrated by Jack, Stephen, Horatio Hornblower and others, I'm in good company. :D

*accepts the jam and cream* Why, thank you. :D

sharpiefan: Age of Sail Marine climbing the rigging (Marine aloft)
From: [personal profile] sharpiefan
Exactly. I think the only people who use first name, initial, surname are certain authors, and then it's generally to distinguish themselves from other authors with a similar name. (Or American generals and presidents, who are a breed of their own, of course.)

Why would you put an "h" in Jonathan? Does anyone do that? *puzzled*

Jon or Jonny as a diminutive, but I guess it's not a common enough name to need a formal abbreviation. If it did, would it be Jno'n??

You are always so obliging *g*

I have nothing to smuttify, however!

I don't think you technically HAVE to drink tea to claim British citizenship. Although you're on fairly shaky ground there, mate ;-)

From: [personal profile] heather_mist
Because Jon is short for Jonathan, my plum.
Jon might be but Jonathan doesn't shorten to 'Jack', (being a name with a different root and eytmology) and John does. So Jack is John, written Jno...

Yeah, makes no sense to me either, but that's the English language for you!

From what I remember you are pretty good at adding your own smut anyway...

Let me look. In England, John is #99, Jack is #3 (although it would be bumped to #4 by Mohammed if you added up the spelling variants of the latter), and no variant of Jonathan or Stephen makes the top 100 (which is all the Office of National Statistics is giving).

I'd like to, if a bunny bit, but no bunnies have been biting for a long time.

Go add lots of prompts!
