Just wondering as I took my kids to see the Fantastic 4 movie today. Apparently it's Mr. Fantastics first name. I found that it's a form of John, but can't decide how I'd say it. Anybody? :)

I'm a big fan of Ioan Gruffudd, the actor...you pronounce his name "YO-ahn". It is the Welsh form of John.

It's Ioan, with an I, not an L.
