Has anyone named their son Yochanan? I haven't heard of any big rabbanim or gedolim with the name Yochanan, I just personally like the name and the English name Johann. What names do you think go well with Yochanan?

Its usually a sfardic name or Karlin stolin or Rachmistrivke name. There is Reb Yochanan of Stolin who was a big tzadik my father in law is named after him

Johan/John is same name in English I think. Johan is more Germanic sounding. Yochanon is the name of one Maccabees

By brother's middle name is yochanan.. and it's a kinda funny story, bc apparently, my parents had chosen a different middle name, and when the model brought him to my mom he goes "mazel tov on xxxx yochanan." And my mom was like "no... " They checked the video and my dad said yochanan... And what's amazing is how much it really fits him. bc my brother is one of the most "chaiyn"-adik ppl. Ever.
