    They are usually made up with suffixes or endings, added either to the full name or to another diminutive:

    /-ка/ Танька, Петька (but it's childish and a bit rude)
    /-еньк, -оньк/ Оленька, Алешенька, Лизонька,
    /-ечк, -очк/ Васечка, Вовочка
    /-ха/ Леха (Алексей), Антоха (Антон), Ксюха (unceremoniously)

    Often used these endings (but I don't see a system here):
    /-ша, -жа/ Антоша, Ксюша, Олежа, Сережа, Маша, Паша (Павел)
    /-ня/ Сеня (Семен), Таня (Татьяна)

    When you see consonant+"я" it's always a diminutive form, IMHO.
    Коля, Саня, Оля, Таня, Вася, Петя, Федя, etc.

    Something to do with being a transvestite?

    It might be a name for a cow, not for a woman.

    Ты не можешь сказать мне пример чего-то похожее в английском языке?

    Хы хы, нет..... есть какое-то слово, которое похоже в значении на имя "Лизуха" в английском языке? Как звать женщину для того, чтобы она реагировала тем же самым образом?

    Спасибо за исправления! Я пытаюсь писать больше на русском языке!!!

    Это хорошо!


    Ну это вряд-ли.. в английском же нету уменьшительно-ласкательных и прочих форм от одного имени?

    Например - Николай => Коля, Колька, Колян, Коляныч, Коленька и т.д. ?

    Ну, я не знаю, соответствует ли это русскому языку, но иногда возможно сокращать имена.

    Nicholas - Nick, Nicky
    Katherine - Kathy, Kate, Kat

    Само собой, что не столько же вариантов, как в русском языке...

    Я не думаю, что так же в русском есть много форм имен - которые будут звучать грубо, как ЛИЗУХА. Мне пока ничего в голову больше не приходит.

    Катюха, Настюха, например - это нормально.. по-деревенски так..

    Something like that. Imagine yourself in a room wth a bunch of guys and a person with a thick Russian accent telling everybody that cock is a rooster, being gay means being merry and tossed salad is a vegans' culinary achievement (no children present?). You get the picture. The word Лизуха reads as "female licker". I've never heard it before but surely I cant stop laughing.

    Hehe. I'll be sure to add that to my "words to start a fight to the death" list...

    По-моему, "Лексей", хотя такой вариант и есть, все-таки не говорят.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    "Лексей" - говорят, но звучит несколько просторечно или устаревше. По-деревенски.
    Даже "Ляксей" говорят.

    Ну и "Лёлик"
