Russian/Slavic Pet Forms of Tatiana

I'm doing a search on all the Russian/Slavic pet forms/endearments of the name "Tatiana." I already know of Tanya/Tania, Tatia and Tatyushka, but are there others? If so, what are they, how are they pronounced and how frequently are they used within Russian/Slavic speaking countries?

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Katriel

Tasya, Tanyulya, Tanyusya, Tanyusik. But Tasya as a pet form of the name Tatiana is used very seldom.

Tatta / Tata (tah-tah) can be used as nicknames for Tatiyana but I don't know if they are exclusively - not commmon

Tanyusha (more popular than Tanusha but less so than Tanechka), Tanusha, Tanechka (the most common) and Tanichka (not common) are all "pet" forms of Tanya (also Tonya)

Tatiana can also be spelt Tatiyana (popular), Tatyana and Tatjyana

Hope this helps :)

I knew a girl from Ukraine who was called Tanyusha (Tun-YOO-sha) or Tanyula (Tun-YOO-la) at home. Don't know if that's common.
