John translates to "God is Gracious".
Therefore, my name more-or-less translates to "God is Chill".
"We're all out of toner!"

in reply to @ceryl's post:
I am one of the world's innumerable Stephens and I fucking hate it.
It's spelled wrong, to start. a "PH"? My parents are illiterate.
Two, there's infinite social pressure to be a "Steve" and that just throws you on the fucking memory bonfire. It is impossible to be remembered as a Steve. Steve fucking Buscemi was on the ground at 9/11 assisting first responders and people don't even remember THAT Steve. It's impossible for the rest of us.
There's also so many Steves. There were fully 5 of us in attendance at my tiny rural school I attended. The other Stevens literally had a fucking fight one day to decide who was gonna' be the Steven. I have gone by my (admittedly cool) lastname ever since. I didn't fight. It's not worth it. Being a fucking Steve sucks so much butt.
I'd get it changed but no court in America is gonna' let me change my name to "Wobbles" or "Wiglo" or anything I actually respond to on the street. It's also expensive.
Anyway I don't know what my name translates to in an olde world language but goddamn. I don't know how y'all Johns, Mikes, and Joes are getting on but us Steves are NOT OKAY.
OH GOD I SAID "US STEVES" I'M ONE OF THEM NOW! KILL ME! I'M TURNING!!!
Ey Steve! (sorry)
I totally get the pressure to go to "Steve" from "Stephen/Steven" though, because I (and I'm sure everyone else) has no problem figuring out how "Steve" works but the moment you throw us a "Stephen" I've got to ask how to spell that.
But hell, I say go change it to "Wobbles" or whatever the heck you like! If nothing else people will not forget it, and you've got an easy in for small talk.
The flipside to "my name is so common" is "you could dox me on my first name alone", which is its own flavour of suck.
Lol, I'm sure it's weird.
The real awful one is when people ask you the spelling and reflexively put down the wrong one anyway.
Honestly I'm pretty rubbish about not-doxxing myself anyway so I might as well.
I feel like the Johns might have it a little worse in the spelling department. I've had a few Jons be around in my life and there's disagreement about where the "h" goes in Jhon.
GOD YES PEOPLE MISSPELLING IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU HELP THEM OUT
I GAVE YOU THE SPELLING IT IS RIGHT THERE
WHY DID YOU DO IT WRONG
