How about Johnny?

(Johnny Carson and Johnny Weismuller would be your namesakes.)

Johan EinarssonAnglo name
If an Anglo name is all you want, just about any of the names that start with J might be close enough for you. Just be careful you don't pronounce it with a Y!

Jay, Jason, Joey, Jack, Jess, ...

If you pick Jason, they'll probably call you "Jace". I think that's pretty popular now.

Good luck with your choic

I think that most English speakers are familiar with the name Johan. Bach, one of the most famous composers in history, had that name.

Not in any form of English I've encountered.

Nobody would know how to pronounce it.
