I think we may have used some nickname or another for my brother when he was very very little, but I can't even remember what it was.
How about Nifty?

I've heard of Tulcha, but that's a Jewish Polish family.

And my father's cousins from before the war were Henek, shlamek and shimek....
Naftali is a beautiful name. There is "Naftoosh", "toolek", "tooleh", "tolik", "talik", just offhand.

Null? Nil? Nail? Nellie?
You know, Naftoli already sounds like a nickname, because it ends in a ee sound. None of the other bnei Yaakov do. Leave it be. It's victorious and beautiful and special.

I agree! I never understand why people choose nicknames over already beautiful Jewish names.
