Jonathan Cook (cricketer) → Jono Cook – Case of common name, as similar to Ben Manenti. Majority of news sources, as well as broadcast and cricket.com.au all use Jono, as does the Sydney Thunder website. Aussiespinnersfanpage (talk) 12:26, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose Jono is obviously a nickname. And the sources support Jonathan too.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 12:39, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose Nope, I believe the current title is fine and as stated by Lugnuts above Jono is clearly a pet name and moreover the (cricketer) part distinguishes the person too. Bingo bro   (Chat)  13:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

User:Bingobro Jono is not a nickname, and particularly in Australia is used as a shortened form of Jonathan, as is Ben for Benjamin, Jimmy for James and Matt for Matthew. I can resource with his Thunder profile if you’d like which states his name as Jono?

A shortened form of a real name is a nickname. On the Indian national cricket team and Kings XI Punjab jersey's many players have nick names Dinesh Karthik's jersey reads D K and Yuvraj Singh's jersey reads YUVI that doesn't mean that those will be the titles of articles.

Support as the WP:COMMONNAME and because it eliminates the need for a parenthetical disambiguation. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

I am aware what a nickname is, but am stating that this is not one, but a WP:COMMONNAME. In Australia, Jono is commonly used as the preferred name, just as Ben is for Benjamin or James for Jimmy. See also: Jono Dean, Ben Manenti, Jimmy Peirson. These are also similar situations where the common name is used, as should be here. Aussiespinnersfanpage (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Mainly, what I’m trying to get at is that someone is more likely to see “Jono Cook” on a broadcast, website or article before looking him up. It distinguishes him from Jonathan Cook in order to avoid confusion, and is simply a WP:COMMONNAME as for many other cricketers.

Thoughts? Aussiespinnersfanpage (talk) 01:54, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Jono" is a nickname, and reliable sources tend to call him by his given name. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 16:47, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
