There's also the case of "Edward" giving "Ted" or "Ned".

Or Lord Stark  :-D

As a large, hairy man named Richard, there are a limited number of nicknames for me that can be said in public.  One of the guys I used to work with spontaneously decided that my nickname was baby gangster, however, and he stuck by his decision until I got out of the air force.  The military seems to specialize in weird nicknames.

Quote from: Anthony Buckeridge, Jennings Goes to School
"Of course not, " said Venables. "His name's Temple, and his initials are C. A. T., so naturally we call him Dog."

"But you didn't call him Dog, you called him Bod."

"Give me a chance to get a word in," said Venables. "I haven't finished yet. It's a bit of a sweat calling him Dog, so we call him Dogsbody for short."

"But it isn't short, " protested Jennings. "Dogsbody's much longer than Dog.""

"Okay, then, it needs shortening. Bod short for Body, and Dogsbody short for Dog. Really! You new oiks are dim at picking things up."
