You've come to the right place if you're looking for shortened-form names or notable diminutive names here.
A diminutive is an etymology that has been transformed to indicate a lesser degree of its original meaning, the fragility of the thing or characteristic described, or a sense of closeness or fondness. A diminutive form is a word-formation technique used to express concepts like these.
Such forms can be interpreted as 'small' in various languages, and diminutives can even be constructed as multi-word compositions like 'Tiny Tim'.
When speaking to children or showing intense affection and familiarity to an adult, diminutives are frequently used as nicknames and pet names. The production of diminutives by adding suffixes is a productive aspect of the language in many languages. In Spanish, for example, Gordo is a nickname for chubby people; adding the 'it' to the suffix gets gordito, which is more loving. On the other hand, diminutives are sometimes used in a derogatory way to indicate that someone or something is weak or childlike. Romulus Augustus, for example, was one of the last Western Roman emperors, but his name was shortened to 'Romulus Augustulus' to reflect his impotence.
