Generally nickname-names are a very American thing - especially in the 50's, shortened forms like Jackie, Frankie, Susie, Eddie, Sally and Ernie were very popular. I'm sure those forms did chart back in the day, but they are much less popular now. However, whenever I see them (especially if they are compounded: Jackie-Frank, Susie-Jo, Sally-Anne) I find them to be extremely "American".
