Swedish handwriting - name of child

Hi everyone, just trying to get some help determining whether the child's name is Jans or Jäns or Jons or Jöns. See attached picture.

It looks like "Jöns" to me. However, all of those names are interchangeable, meaning that they are the same name and could be used by different people to refer to the same person. See this article (especially the section about Interchangeable First Names): https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sweden_Names,_Personal

Thanks Norm! That's a helpful observation.
