Serious names and less serious nicknames

Hi everybody, I'm wondering what opinions everyone has on the use of nicknames that are related to the original name, but atypical or strange. The two I have in my head are Law for Lawrence and Geo for George (or Georgia/Georgiana). What do you think? Are they ridiculous? Can you think of any others? Thanks!

I think they're alright, nothing wrong with them. I actually think they're kind of cute, because Lawrence and George are quite stiff, so the nicknames loosen the actual names up a bit.
