Educated English speakers have no problem pronouncing Johan (Yo-han). They know about the famous Johanns from music, literature, science, and technology - Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Kepler, Johann Strauss, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, Johann Gutenberg and others. But if you want a nickname, you can use whatever pleases you.
