They all look like English nicknames, they are not Italian

Your asking for the corresponding given name for the above nicknames, correct?
If so the following may help:

Hi Cristo: My grandfather called his wife Carrie or sometimes Katie, which was his Americanizatin of Catarina. Hope this helps.

Christo, my Father's cousin was named Annuciata and they called her Nancy, as possibliity for Nune.

Our "Calogera" family members went by Carrie

Tonny just looks like Tony to me for Anthony or Antonio...

Annuciata could also be Annunzianata

Nune could also be Nunzio. Carrie could be Cara or "dear"
Toonie could be Tony.

Nune could be a form of nonno or nonna (grandpa or grandma). Tonny could be a form of Antonio. Usually Nunziata is Nuccia in Italy...and Nancy here in the US...at least thats what I have seen.
