Does anyone know of code that can match formal names, such as "Michael" with their less formal equivalents, such as "Mike." I was starting to code this but stopped after realizing that there were thousands of these nicknames. I am mainly interested in names, but matching addresses abbreviation, such as "Blvd" = "Boulevard" might be helpful as well.

I would hope there is something free out there which covers the basics.
