Chad was a very popular name for a boy back in the 1960's and 70's. It has become less popular now. While it can be a full name in and of itself, it is also short for Chadwick or Chadrick.

The boy's name Chad is pronounced chad. It is of Old English origin. Modern spelling of the medieval given name Ceadda, borne by a seventh-century saint who was Archbishop of York. Also a short form of various surnames. Actors Chad Everett, Chad Lowe; football players Chad Morton, Chad Pennington.
Chad has 5 variant forms: Chaddie, Chadd, Chadric, Chadrick and Chadwick.

I don't know if there is such a thing as "correct name abbreviations" but some are more common than others. I think Chad is a perfectly acceptable nickname for Chandler, logistically it has less syllables and could logically be derived from Chandler. It really comes down to the person and what they prefer, but Chad from Chandler makes perfect sense to me!

I've heard a Chad short for Chadley (but his parent's were inspired by giving a twin name for his brother Bradley)

I think it's a name on it's own. Though the only long version I can think of Chadwick. But the kid would probably get teased with this name :O
