I have a friend named Dez / Dezzie, but it's short for
Destiny.
I think Jaz / Jazz is kind of a newer invention, but
Liz and
Des and
Roz certainly aren't. I honestly think it's coincidental or at least a very localized thing. None of those seem like names I've seen a lot of personally.
It's not really in the same vein, but I like
Fitz and
Fritz.
I like
Laz for
Lawrence and variants.
I was just mentioning Zaz / Zazi / Zazie to someone for
Isabelle /
Elizabeth. It's more of a literary creation, but I feel like I've seen it getting more attention lately. (Maybe thanks to Zazie Beetz? That's her real name, btw. I checked.)
My mom called me
Izzy a lot of my childhood.
I'm a fan of
Kizzie /
Kizzy, both as a Romani name and as a nickname for
Keziah.
