Clan Jono

by | Mon 5 Dec 2005

You know, I have known for a while that I have a rather unusual name. Aside from my meat-related surname, the name *Jono* is not particularly well established. This odd combination has mean’t that from what I can tell, I am the only *Jono Bacon* on the Internet, so one could assume that there not any other Jono Bacons in the world. Hmmm.

With such a rare name, you need to keep it real with other Jonos. As such, I sent an email over to [Jono Coleman](https://www.jonocoleman.co.uk/) who is a famous Aussie DJ over here. As a man who shares in the wondrous Clan Jono, I figured we should unite and affirm our union:

> Hey Jono,

> You know, the world has far too few Jonos in it, and I figured we need to club together otherwise some lunitic Stuarts or Davids may get a little
above their platform. As such I figured I should email you to bolster this soladarity between Clan Jono.

> Good to see a fellow Jono doing well. I am part of an Open Source podcast called LUGRadio (www.lugradio.org) that is doing rather well. We currently
have around 15,000 listeners.

> The Day Of The Jono is coming…

> Cheers,

> Jono

Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to share in our obvious relation:

> IM ACTUALLY JONATHAN (JONO) COLEMAN …BUT THATS CLOSE ENOUGH STAY COOL JONO COLEMAN BBC LONDON 94.9FM AND GMTV ON ITV

So, the man seems to only use *Jono* as some kind of frivolous nickname. Preposterous! Sure, my name is officially *Jonathan Edward James Bacon*, but it has been Jono since the age of 9. I am sure he will see the light sometime soon. 😛

If you know any other Jonos, do let me know. 🙂

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...
