Have you ever met someone named John?

Perhaps once.

Last year I went to Goa. We took a taxi to the Mangesh Temple. The name of the taxi driver was John.

Yes. I have met a fair few Johns in my time. Have you ever met someone called Sunil?

Kimbo · 30-11-2002, 12:49 AM

Are you just inquiring about Johns? Or do you count those with the name 'Jon' and those who shorten their name from 'Jonathon'.

When I was in 5th and 6th, two of my classmates were Sunil Pathak and Sunil Zutshi. Also I have a friend of mine Sunil Ojha.

Simply John.

Me-1.
You-Lots?!!?!?

Is that name Mr Mxyzptlk something special (abbreviation) or just a random name ?
