Does anyone know of any existing dictionaries with personal names and common alias or nicknames for them?
I want to make sure I don't end up recreating the wheel.
example....
CHRIS = CHRISTOPHER
BOB = ROBERT
WILL = WILLIAM
BILL = WILLIAM

The Social Security Admin keeps a large database of given names, and I'd say there's a good chance that among the population kids get the nickname at least a good percentage of the time.

Some resources I've found:
