"Yiddish Double Entendre" names

[Yonah]

A few weeks ago, there was a thread where someone asked about how to spell a certain name in Hebrew. That thread devolved into a discussion of various Hebrew names, and I asked a question about the "Yiddish Double Entendre" and it's sources, but didn't get an answer. Figured I'd give it a shot to ask again.

What do I mean by "Yiddish Double Entendre": People who have a Hebrew and Yiddish name that essentially mean the same thing:
Menchem Mendel
Yitzchok Azik
Nosson Nuta
Aryeh Leib
Kalonimus Kalman (although Kalonimus isn't hebrew)
Tzvi Hersh
Dov Ber

My questions:
- When and why did this start?
- How come it's for some names and not others? (For example, I've never met someone named Mordechai Mottel, or Yaakov Yankel)
- Are there any examples of women's names that fit this pattern?

There is a bikshu rachamim for Pittsburgh Rebbe and it does have this. Haven't seen it elsewhere.

Isn't this the opposite of a double entendre?

Isn't this the opposite of a double entendre?

Yes - I'm not sure why I came up with that name - I wonder if there is a better way of phrasing that.

do these Menchem Mendel, Yitzchok Azik, Nosson Nuta, mean the same ?

[cholent]

Tzipora Faiga (although it's actually not really the same)

Yitchok = Azik = Isaac

I know many people who are just "Menachem" (i.e. not Menachem Mendel) and are referred to as Mendy or Mendel - including some relatives.

[Yonah]

Tzipora Faiga (although it's actually not really the same)

It's kind of the same - I could probably come up with other examples, but are you simply suggesting it as a possibility or do you actually know people named Tzipora Faiga?

[cholent]

I thought about this - do you know any Tzpiora Faiga's?

My daughter and several others

This is probably the answer to your question in the OP.

- When and why did this start?

If someone named their kid after a person whose name was Menachem, but was called Mendel, they would give both names to honor the person.

It's kind of the same

Rav Moshe says they are unrelated.

Ephraim Fishel is an interesting one.
