- While 约翰·塞纳 is his official name, Chinese fans often call him 塞纳哥, adding the suffix 哥 which means 'older brother' as a sign of respect and affection.
- Because 塞纳 is also used for the river 'Seine' in France, a literal search for his name in some older Chinese texts might lead to geography lessons about Paris instead of wrestling.
