I know a few Johns. Luckily in this country we dont use that word when talking about toilets. The Bog is much more commonly heard 
I am a Jon and I don't get offended by this as I know the context of what is being said and just don't really care
My full name rhymes with John Doe, and my last name can be used to make fun of me in so many creative ways.
It was a pain in my childhood, but saying you have to "use the John" doesn't bother me one bit.
Our name is way too common. If your last name is common, don't use a common first name. Like "John Smith".
