I have a column, containing the name of the user and there is a need

I need to use the full-text search capabilities of postgres.
I would like to attach a dictionary, containing many possible names,
and the short names like:
William Will Bill Billy
James Jim Jimmy
etc., which will give me a possibility to perform indexed search on
any of these names and it will give me all the matches on variations
of the name, regardless of which of them was chosen as a search
argument.
1. Is it possible to do that with postgres' full-text search
capabilities?
yes, look on contrib/dict_xsyn
2. Does anyone know, if there is a Russian dictionary of these names?
there are printed dictionaries, not sure about electronic versions.
3. What is the name of such kind of dictionary, to know, what to
google for?
http://yandex.ru/yandsearch?text=словарь+личных+имен;
Thanks in advance, and regards
