First name of new born

I have found a record for a Doyle but cannot make out the first name of the newborn. (See left on image.)
What confuses the issue is another record from Ancestry claiming John Doyle was baptised at Bellaghy on the same date. I cannot find the record under the registers under Ballyscullion/Bellaghy.
(See right side of image.)
Are they one in the same person or should I be looking at a different registry for the Ancestry record?

Can't help with the deciphering, but the birth register image is online at
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/
and that says John - the place of birth is given as Derrygane if that helps. Registered in the district of Magherafelt
EDIT
it could be a badly written Joannes, Joannis?

The Latin says Ioannem = John. The father's name is given in an abbreviated form Ino, which was regularly used as an abbreviation of John in English. The form of the initial I is the same in both Ioannem and Ino.

Bellaghy is the subdistrict of Magherafelt it was registered in, so it all seems to add up.
Its really worth checking the civil records on Irish Genealogy, which are free, to get a fuller picture of things that puzzle us.
