I'm sure it comes from English influence. My guess is Cockney rhyming slang? All the names that have those "weird" nicknames are English in origin. Some examples:

Richard => Rick => Dick Robert => Rob => Bob Nancy => Nan => Ann (this one is used pretty rarely nowadays though) William => Will => Bill

The ones that really confuse me are how you get "Chuck" from Charles, "Jim" from James, and "Jack" from John.
