The prevailing nick-names in my area are profoundly non-snooty.
Most used ones are Ti-Something, short for "petit".Ti-Jacques, Ti-Marc. These are adult men. My son's father-in-law calls him Ti-Joe.
Also "Pit", just by itself. Also derived from petit, I suppose. Sometimes you'll see a death announcement in the church bulletin..."Leo (Pit) Lastname." Being as no-one knew the guy as anything but Pit.
All male names, I see. Women's names are less often nick-named. If Chantal-Nichole is what someone is named, she'll be called that.
