The most frequent diminutive of Ralph is Ralphie-- which is my personal favorite.
However, I do not see why Al or Alph (/Alf) could not be put to use.
Ralph's nickname is still Ralph. No nicknames.
Ralph's reaction to Piggy's nickname of "Piggy" is surprising because he initially scolds Piggy for revealing his real name, and later adopts the same nickname himself. This shows Ralph's shift in attitude towards Piggy and his acceptance of him as a friend.
Ralph Carter
Ralph Waldo Emerson's "nickname" is the "Sage of Concord" due to his influential role as a philosopher and writer associated with the transcendentalist movement in Concord, Massachusetts. He was known for his essays and lectures on individualism, self-reliance, and nature.

Golding uses the image of a balloon, likening Piggy's taunting to the release of air from a balloon, as Ralph punctures Piggy's statement about his nickname. This image symbolizes the deflation of Piggy's self-esteem and the power dynamics between Ralph and Piggy.
The first character to be mentioned is the boy with fair hair who later reveals that his name is Ralph. The second character is described as shorter than the fair boy and very fat. He later tells Ralph that his nickname is Piggy.
dunno man Piggy clings to Ralph he admires him and wants to be friends with him. Ralph has no interest in this and makes fun of Piggy, he tells all the other boys on the island about the nickname piggy. Ralph and all the others are bothered by piggys speeches and outbursts eventually Ralph realizzes that piggy is a good friend
he keeps on saying piggy piggy and he lets jack and the other know his name and they teases him about it
I suppose there is one example of betrayal which stands out. It occurs in the first chapter when Piggy reveals his nickname to Ralph and tells him, and I quote, "So long as you don't tell the others---." However Ralph tells the meeting of boys, I quote, "He's not Fatty, his real name's Piggy." Later Piggy remonstrated with Ralph and said, "You told 'em. After what I said."
The 'secret' which Piggy entrusted to Ralph was that at school he had been nicknamed Piggy. Once he tells Ralph and Ralph later reveals this to the rest of the boys the nickname is used whenever he is referred to and his real name is never actually revealed.
Ralphie is a diminutive/nickname of the English, Scandinavian, and German Ralph, which came from the Old Norse Radulfr, whose elements ráð means "counsel" and úlfr means "wolf".
