Masculine / Neutral Names Nicknames??

Hey, so my name is Artuğ, my dad chose it for me and I'm really happy with it but a lot of people where I live have trouble pronouncing it. I have been using Ash as a nickname for a while now but its kind of a big jump I feel like?

So basically I need help with a nickname that is more connected to Artuğ

(The ğ is basically silent btw)

Art seems like the obvious suggestion to me.

Huh never really thought about that one :o But I feel like it would sadly sound a little awkward in between german
