Boys: We have Ed, Edd, Eddie, Eddy, etc. for Edward
Andy for Andrew
Vic for Victor
Tom or Tommy for Thomas

Nate/Nathan for Nathaniel
Nate for Nathan
Girls:
Vicky for Victoria
Andrea or Anna, I’ve seen Ann/Anne or Annie, also with Anabel/Anabelle too
Tanya for Tatyana but I don’t see many people with this name, I know one and she was my bully’s Russian mother.
That’s really interesting, I guess I’d assumed it was a universal thing.
I know some people who are known by various versions of their names in their different circles, e.g. Robert/Bob to their family, Rob to their school friends, Bobby to their uni mates and Robert at work.
