¿Es Chico también un nombre?

Yes, Chico is a name like Chuck, not like Charles. I think it doesn't come from other name like Quico comes from Federico or Pepe from Pedro. A good example is an old Argentine singer, Chico Novarro, whose real name is Bernardo Mitnik Lermann.

Oh ok, that's pretty cool. But does that mean that it sounds like you're addressing the other person as "Boy!"?
And is Chica also a name?

Chico Buarque de Holanda, su nombre verdadero es Francisco.
No sé si en Brasil a todos los Francisco los apodan Chico o es sólo referido a este artista por su cara y modos de "buen chico". Entonces sería un "mote". Quico o Kiko lo conozco también para los Enrique y Pancho para los Francisco. A los José, Pepe y a los Pedro, Perucho. Gullermo = Memo. Patricio = Pato. José Patricio, típico doble nombre que durante un periodo era muy común entre los "jaivones" (Highborns) chilenos, PepePato con su Volvo rojo. Me refiero a la mitad de los años '60, del siglo pasado.

How about Nacho? I just saw this bilingual children's book in the store entitled "Uncle Nacho's Sombrero". I almost burst out laughing. Is that a real name too?

Nano is definitely a dimutive, in more ways than one.
