Wick's name is John with an 'H', which would suggest his full first name is simply John, not Jonathan. Every Jonathan I've ever known who prefers the shortened version spells their name Jon -- no 'H'.
I realize this is fairly trivial but I'm always surprised Wick never corrects Winston for calling him by the wrong name. Then again, I suppose he has more important things to worry about.
He calls him Jonathan because he can and he treats John like he's his son
shareNot sure what you mean. If Wick's actual name is just 'John' and not 'Jonathan', how can Winston calling him by the wrong name be considered treating him as a son?
shareI had a co-worker who was named Jonathan but he went by John. He said that if he shortened his name to Jon it would be a huge hassle correcting everyone who misspelled his name.
shareFunny you mention that, as I’ve known a couple Jons who did get annoyed by people misspelling their names. I guess that explanation does make some sense.
