Then only Claudia I know goes by a surname based nickname.

My best friend is Claudia and she uses Claud as a shortening. You could also try Dee if you like it.

Well it doesn't have to be shortened - I know a family with a Claudia and they always calls her Claudia (it's a very pretty name )

I don't see why it has to be shortened.

If they don't shorten it, someone else probably will. You might as well pick a shortening you like.
