I took some japanese classes a few years ago. it wasnt much but its enough to help out a few people.
first off, yes japanese people do nicknames, its just not as common as in america. example in the anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn, the main characters name is Tsunayoshi, but everybody calls him Tsuna, his mother calls him Tsu-kun
now the suffixes. -san, -kun, and -chan are suffixes used after names of people. they usually represent as if you were saying miss or mister out of respect, which is customary in japan. the chan however i understand is more out of closer relationships but i havent confirmed this
i believe Gail as a nickname would be pronounced Geiru, or something similar, sorry i dont have kanji for that ill try to see if i can find them
