Good question and good research Pvt .  Johnny Reb of course come s from Rebel and Johnny is a common name so anyone you didn't know the name of was called Johnny .  Bell Wiley uses Johnny Reb for his book on the Southern Soldier,  He used Billy Yank for the Northern  Must be because Billy was another common name.

I always loved the questions my kids came up with.  They were first graders too not eighth graders but the questions were still good.
