In Old Føtisk, but maybe sometimes anachronistically, I dunno...

Assuming the American pronunciation ...
   Gjæn Kahun /dZa:n ka:un/
Or calquing the common & obvious name 'John'

And of course mine own:
    Tristan McLe /trist@n m@kle:/
or maybe Tristan Læsson /trist@n la:s@n/ or maybe something different
