"Boocha" was: Resources for Russian first name diminutives

[Mark Nuckols]

For what it's worth, there was a supporting role in the 1976 Mosfilm "Tabor uxodit v nebo" named Bucha/Буча. Most of the names in the film, as well as stage adaptations, seem to  follow closely Gorky's original "Makar Chudra," but they are (supposed to be), of course, mainly Romani - not Russian - and I can't even vouch for Gorky's cultural or linguistic accuracy.
 
Here's a half-minute clip of Bucha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwz5Ijeh9Tc

  Dear SEELANGers,

  
  

 To all interested responders:

By coincidence a question has just arisen on another list:  Could
"Boocha" be the nickname of any (male) Russian name?  I assume the 'ch'
is the palatal affricate, but it might remotely be a velar fricative X.
