Just a thought : _
Christine gets shortened to Chris
Michael gets shortened to Mike
Fairly obvious but when I tell my children that "Aunt Peggy's real name is Margaret" - they look at me as though I must have gone mad.
Would a thread that gave possible variations help - with maybe a linked process to show the logic if we know it!
eg. Margaret --Meg - Peg
These might vary too in different parts of the country:

Re: First name variations
Hi MG I think that is a good idea
why not start a thread in the General discussion we can add to it and you can incorporate it
into one large post we can then delete the posts under your main post once added
