I'm sure you mean Sotos, Kostas/Costas, and Tasos/Tassos. (m)

They are nicknames for Soterios / Sotirios, Konstantinos / Constantinos and Anastasios, respectively. I guess you find it "funny" that these nicknames are similiar sounding but Greek diminutives, like those in other languages, are a bit limiting as you are reduced to a just few sounds set in similar patterns. I wouldn't call this funny; it's just part of the language system.
