I worked at a beerstore for I think 3 years, from when I was 18 to 21. I wouldn't call it cool, though, it was pretty pathetic. Having to deal with the same sorry people (both employees/customers) isn't my idea of fun.

Much the same Bill means William means Will.  Or Ian, Ivan, Sean and Yoni are all pretty much John.

Sean is NOT John.  They are totally separate names.  In fact, Sean was a name used by the Celts long before "Jonathon" came around.

That doesn't really prove anything . Take johnnie cochran for example; it was his legal name, and under no circumstances was he called John, even though Johnnie is a nickname for John.
