Well is the only issue with the length of the "formal" name one of displaying it (and hence the need for a "nickname")?  If so, then is it not just a display issue?  For displaying on a UI, perhaps the name could be abbreviated to just the action name and use some funky AJAX thingy (or whatever) to popup the "formal" name on mouseover (or whatever).  For printing, I don't think you could use a nickname because that would require manual translation back to the formal name.
