Aren't Jon and Hannes very much related name-wise? That seems weird to have in the same sibset.

I like Gabriel and Filip is okay.

I guess they are. Jon is pronounced like YOON in Swedish though, so it's not like John :)

Jon is an old short form of both Johannes and Jonas. So yes and no.

Yeah, Jon is the swedish form of John. But it's not very common, especially not among children.
