+1  Q: 

Name Hypocorism List

Does anybody know of a public list of name hypocorisms (a contracted form of a given name, such as Tony from Anthony, Rosy for Rosemarie or Vicky from Victoria)?

+3  A: 

There is a perl module that can do it here: http://search.cpan.org/~brianl/Lingua-EN-Nickname-1.15/Nickname.pm

It seems to base it's results on a simple textfile which can be downloaded here: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/BRIANL/Lingua-EN-Nickname-1.15/nicknames.txt
