While Шон is used for the English name 'Sean', the Russian equivalent of 'John' is Иван. These names share the same biblical root but evolved into completely different sounds in each language.
In Russian, using the name Шон without a patronymic (a father's name) immediately signals to a listener that the person is not Russian.
In Russian, the name Шон is always capitalized, but its grammatical role changes based on the case system. For example, if you are talking to 'Sean', the name remains Шон, but if you are giving something to him, it becomes Шону.
