Resources for Russian first name diminutives

[David Connor]

Derek Offord's book: Using Russian - A Guide to Contemporary Usage, 1996, Cambridge Univesrity Press, pp. 182-4, lists such diminutives, but only offers Volodya, not Vova, for Vladimir.

  Dear SEELANGers,

  Does anyone know of a reference work, preferably in something like dictionary format, that deals with the diminutive forms of Russian first names? I need something that would tell me that Вова is a short form of Владимир, and that Владимир has the short forms Вова, Влад, etc. 

  Sincerely,

  Brian Hayden
