I agree with Nanaea . I know that in Russian they have several diminuitive endings for names. They each hold a different air of intimacy so that some cannot be used except by those very close to the person. I wonder if the -kia is one of such diminuitive endings.
I have a friend who has travelled in Russia and I shall try to remember to ask her next time we meet.
