In the IGI, I found several baptism entries from Marylebone (1773, 1774, 1779) where the children's father was entered as JNO Cooper, and his wife als ELIZTH. This looks to me like a lazy registrar; but what name could he have abbreviated as JNO? He did it at least three times. Google returns quite a few JNO as well, it seems to be a common thing, but as a German I cannot imagine what it meant.
I do hope the question is not too daft
