I just got back from a Christening, so I'm curious: when Jon was born what kind of ceremony happened around his birth?
I think because Clark and Lois are both really detached from their source cultures, even if there was a Kryptonian birth ceremony or specific Indonesian celebration- both of them end up doing their own thing. Jon in my AU is known as Jon Yun Kent, a nod to Jonathan Kent and Yunus Liando (Lois' Indonesian dad). Jon would know he's in trouble if Lois called him by his full extended name:

What's fun is that Jon would have multiple cultural names from both his parents' heritage. His Kryptonian name is Jon-El, and he'd have an ultra secret Chinese name through Lois' lineage. I imagine (like in my family) Lois would contact some great-aunts to help get the Chinese naming conventions right for Jon. For fun, Jon can have an Indo-fied name like Yonathan Yunus Kentajaya Liando haha and Lois can throw a bunch of random Indonesian suffixes to "Kent" (Kentawiharja, Kentmawijaya, Kentyawan, Kentcanawati, Kentyadi etc.)
