Jonathan Graziano: Hi, my name is Jonathan Graziano, and I go by the name, Jonathan. My mother calls me Jonathan, but a lot of other people call me John, and I have no problem accepting nicknames. The one nickname I will not accept is Johnny, and I say that because of a little boy named Johnny Tremain, who you may be familiar with. But in seventh grade I had to read the book, Johnny Tremain, and I was exclusively called Johnny Tremain in my English class for about three months afterwards, and I have yet to shake the trauma. So I really love my name and I accept all nicknames, but Johnny is one that we keep off the table.
