HelpRe: No nicknames, please!
in reply to a message by Lily
Yeah, but I didn't mean creative nicknames that have no connection to the name. Those are pet names to me and strangers are hardly likely to make them up randomly.
As for Ivan, the nicknames used in Croatia are Ivo, Ivek, Ivanec, Vanja, while Luka doesn't have any nicknames (Luke and Luki don't exist here). Likewise with Eva in Croatia, though I guess there's always diminutive Evica.
Oh, and every Kornelia I know gets called Korny, so I doubt it would be any different for Cornelius - Corny.

I've known heaps of Kornelias (it's common here) and none of them got ever called Korny.
All Evas I've known have been called Evie, though.
It depends on your country and some other things so saying that a Cornelius would definitely be called Corny is as wrong as saying that any Eva would be called Evie, it just depends on so many things.
