Drag Name Origin[]
One night, I was at my friend's house dressed to the nines and I came down the stairs and my friend's dad looked up from his paper and said, ‘Jonbers, looking like that you’re going to get very lucky!’ and since then “Jonbers” just stuck![2]
That being said, Jonbers previously went by the Drag Name "JonBenet Blonde,"[3] a reference to JonBenét Ramsey.
