Antonio Sacre: Hello, my name is Antonio Sacre. If you speak Spanish, that's how you say it. Antonio Sacre.
But a lot of people who don't speak Spanish can't say that very well, so a lot of times they say "Antonio Sacree". But my father comes from Cuba, and that's how he says it. Antonio Sacre.
I also have a bunch of nicknames. My father, when I was younger, called me "Papito", which means little boy or little man. It's a very typical nickname in Cuban families.
But my cousins can't say Papito, so they call me "Pete", or "Peter".
So I have the nickname Papito, Pete, or Peter. When I was in grade school, I changed my name from Antonio to Tony. So, then, that was another name I picked up.
But now that I'm older, I really love Antonio. And I love the way the Spanish speaking people say it. Antonio! My dad still calls me Papito. And some of my cousins still call me Pete.
