Confusing Nicknames

There are many nicknames that make sense, but so many nicknames that confuse me. I'll show you my pattern of thinking/confusion.


Rhyming Names:

Jerry... Jerold
Harry... Harold
Larry... Larold?

Tim... Timothy
Jim... Jimothy?

Jed... Jedidiah
Ted... Tedadore?

Too Many Options:
Robert... Rob, Robby, Bob, Bobby, Bert
Johnathon... John, Johnny, Jim, Jo, Jon, Jack, Jay
Charles... Chuck, Chip, Charlie, Chaz
Richard... Rich, Richie, Dick 

My Illogical Conclusions [about some of my friends' real names]:

Anyway, Johnny Depp as the vampire, Helena Bonham Carter as Bella--true masters of mopey gothic angst.
