With Gregory I could imagine him being the type of person who was always known as Gregory where the name almost served as a nickname in itself.
Interesting! Can you expand on what you mean by this?
I think Nadezhda is a name with fewer nickname forms in Russian?
There are actually several diminutive forms: 'Nadya' is the one everyone uses by rote, and then there are several more that can be used in more intimate relationships.
