People called Jack (e.g. Raiden) don't get called John because their name is Jack.

Either way, Big Boss calling himself John should have been your indicator. I figured he called himself John to mess with Occelot. If he wanted to do that, he should have picked a radically different name, like I don't know, Peter.

Besides, Kojima already confirmed his name is John, so that should give it a rest.
