Don’t know why but I’ve always liked when people spell it “Jonny.”
And I’m usually moderately disapproving of name spelling variants.

Had this discussion with someone recently.

This case it's not actually name spelling variants, it's just two completely different names that happen to sound similar in english.

Jonathan and John are different names.

John derives from Yohanan in hebrew
Jonathan derives from Yonatan in hebrew.

Jonny = Jonathan nickname
Johnny = John nickname

I know it's not so much a spelling variant as just a less common different [nick]name, but even there I've noticed many Jonathans eschew all 'y'-suffix nicknames outright, and among those who adopt them, it's split among Jonny, Jony, and even some Johnny. The pull of the more prevalent John/Johnny is there. Anyway, I didn't know they weren't really related and both Hebrew in origin. I kind of imagined Jonathan as a formal variant of John.

John the apostle was a Jew in Israel. Makes sense he’d have a Hebrew name.

John I knew. I should have been clearer when I used "both."

Is Shore Jewish? If so, second Jewish player on the team since Andrew Jacobson.

That's why I explained the difference! I think most people don't realize they're different names to begin with.

Not really deep work so much as culture lol

Me writing the first post after the official one: "probably if anyone even reads this they'll think, 'who cares, Mark!' then nothing." Lol.

Normally I would have ignored it but since I had just so recently had the discussion with someone else about the same thing, I just had to chime in lol.
