I put some of the nicknames that I know assiocated with the names! Most names have a short version, which you can form other nicknames from. Svetlana can became Svetka (although this is a sort of 'mean' nickname if I remember correctly), Sveta, Svetochka, etc. I'm also working on a story with Russian characters so I've trying to learn more about the naming style as well.
