Ivan Konfety is fantastic, but I’ll be saying Jean Bonbons and fake-French-laughing all damn day now.
Why is Ivan Konfety not in Cyrillic, though?
Иван Конфеты
You’re welcome.
Pedantic linguist and Dutchy here: the Dutch one should be Jan Snoep. Brilliant list though…
Hey, I got that without looking it up! I have learned something in 3 years!
oh Dutch what a silly language you are (Jan Snoep would also work)
Jean Bonbons makes me laugh so much.
Tongan: Sione Lole 🙂
Juan Dulce was so perfect I almost didn’t need 22 more…and then I did.
The picture needs no translation, so good.

Japanese I think would preserve the joke as 飴ジョン (助音 isn’t how you’d typically do the name John and 飴 is the word for “candy”). But I’m not a native speaker!
Irish: Sean Milseán
(could’ve been Eoin instead — lucky Irish has two ways to say “John”! — but Sean is funier with the surname
Chichewa/Chinyanja: Yohane Wozuna.
No, you’ve got the Hebrew seriously wrong.
Instead of what you have, it should be יוֹחָנָן סוּכַּרִיוֹת
What you had there, instead, was roughly equivalent to “John JOHN.”
