Fashion outlook
Johnanthony sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.

The trade-off
- Built from two of the best-known names in English, so neither half needs explaining.
- Offers two ready everyday forms, John and Tony.
- Written as one word, it keeps both names together on every document.
- Forms and databases will split it into John and Anthony, or treat Anthony as a middle name; expect to correct that.
- It is long for a first name, and some forms have tight name boxes.
Nobody names a baby alone.
