that yes, I also love the nn Jed, which, truth to tell, would probably be the one to come out of my mouth most often, because a nn at my house is typically just the most-emphasized syllable of the name, like Soph for Sophie or Dave for David or Axe for Alexander.

Or Joon for Juniper!

And as for Jedidiah, I also love the very similar name Jebediah, nn Jeb, though I cannot stand that it has become linked to what's-his-ass's little brother, whose name is not even Jebediah, that's the acronym of his initials, dammit...

And I have long thought that the obvious nn for Sirocco (or Scirocco, as you prefer, though I say it "sh-" either way, and will point out Sirocco makes a better alphabetic match for Socorro) would be Rocco, which itself would even tend to become Rocky. (And come to think of it, Socorro would try to become Corri, but I wouldn't let it! Go go Coco!)
