Skip (or Skippy) are generally the sort of random nicknames unrelated to the actual given name. Along the same lines of Red, Rusty, Bubba or Junior (when the child is NOT a junior LOL). I'm not aware of any formal name Skip is used as a shortening of.

I work with a Skip, and his real name is Hubert. It's kind of like Butch - a random nickname not related to any particular name.

I don't think it pertains to any name. It's a bad nickname too.

Sometimes they are named after their grandfather, so they are not a junior. (skip a generation)
