Nicknames are not necessarily shorter than the name they replace. Joey is short for Joseph and similarly we have Tommy for Tom for Thomas and Mickey for Mike for Michael and so on. We also have Johnny for John, although the original name was Johnathan.

I've often wondered about the name Jack being a nickname for John? I don't get that one...
