[Facts] Re: name update #102
There are plenty of diminutives in the database from various languages. It's not as though Polish diminutives are receiving special treatment. (https://www.behindthename.com/names/description/diminutive). This isn't a site for "Names that would be listed on birth certificates", it's for names in all of their forms.
ETA: Typed this while you were also posting. The diminutives do have the word Diminutive on their page linked, where it explains this in the first sentence "A diminutive (or pet name) of a given name is a short and/or affectionate form. Often they are only used by friends and relatives."
