That's a biographical account of "all renowned Swedish men and women"! John Engström could probably be found in there but perhaps not this Jonn Ankstrom we have run into now...

Well, I don't know about that - I cut a pretty dapper figure in a skirt ... (nah, like a pig wearing lipstick, actually!).

As a point of interest, 'Joh. Engstrom' is short for 'Johannes Engstrom' (I think), so we are anglicizing the name into 'John', that being the case, what could 'Jonn' be short for?

"Jon" is a common name in Swedish. The landowner or the priest would have been named Johannes but the farm-worker would have been Jon (higly simplyfied but anyways).

+1 on that.

Jonn with its 2 "n" is not a common name tho, you would have to spell it out or people would write it John or Jon.

Today Johnny or Jonny is common (one of the "y" names, Jonny, Conny, Ronny... by some reason those names often show up in police reports, in the US it would be like Bubba or such, still a lot of nice people carry those names so no hard feelings)

Pronounced sort of like 'moon' for anyone interested.

So I have a razor from a drunk, dyslexic Swede who had an affinity for ducks. Cool.
