Most intimate and affectionate form, comparable to German diminutives (Ännchen) or Japanese -chan suffixes Comparable to English diminutives (Annie, Willy) or Japanese unsuffixed names Short name stem + -к-k- + II declension endingĮxpresses familiarity, may be considered rude when used between people who are not close friends.

Also, unlike other languages with prominent use of name suffixes, such as Japanese, the use of derived name forms is mostly limited to the T-addressing: there is no way to make the name more formal than the plain unsuffixed full form, and no suffixes can be added to the family name. Unlike English, in which the use of diminutive forms is optional even between close friends, in East Slavonic languages, such forms are obligatory in certain contexts because of the strong T–V distinction: the T-form of address usually requires the short form of the counterpart's name. The auxiliary stem may be identical to the word stem of the full name (the full name Жанна Zhanna can have the suffixes added directly to the stem Жанн- Zhann- like Жанн очка Zhann ochka), and most names have the auxiliary stem derived unproductively (the Russian name Михаил Mikhail has the auxiliary stem Миш- Mish-, which produces such name-forms as Миш а Mish a, Миш енька Mish enka, Миш уня Mish unya etc., not * Михаилушка Mikhailushka). So one can create many forms with different degrees of affection and familiarity by adding the corresponding suffixes to the auxiliary stem derived from the original name.
