Apparently on here, it says that Janie is a diminutive of Jane, but how? Janie is longer than Jane so how is it a diminutive?

In 2018, 63 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Janie* who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 772nd most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
*as a first name, not a nickname
PS To the anonymous user who doesn't understand what a diminutive is in terms of names and left that same comment all over this website, a diminutive name or word is formed from another by the addition of a suffix expressing smallness in size (ergo, cuteness): a booklet is a small book, a novella is a short novel, a duckling is a baby duck, etc.

The name Janie was given to 162 baby girls born in the US in 2012. I think it makes a nice nickname for Jane, which is a little more mature and not as sweet as Janie. It's also very uncommon, which is a plus!
