Re: nicknames in foreign languages
Lots of Italians use English-derived nicknames such as Tom or Tommy for Tommaso , Annie for Anna etc.“And I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty,
I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine”
Leonard Cohen

Same here. I think every single Andrzej younger than 40 I've met went by Andrew (with a heavy Polish accent of course).It's also unsurprising to see a foreign nickname on people who've returned from emigration.
