Lieutenant Zachary Garber's nickname

In this movie, a couple of times Lieutenant Patrone refers to Garber by his nickname, and says "Zeke." I thought the nickname for Zachary was Zack and the nickname Zeke was short for Ezekiel. Right or wrong?

Wrong. He calls him Zack.

Duly noted. I watched it for the first time the other day with closed captions and it's Z, not Zeke. Sounds alike on the audio, though, and that's what threw me. Although early in the film Patrone does call Garber Zack.
