There really aren't any good nicknames for Todd as it can't really be shortened. It's in cases like these, when people feel the need for a nickname, that the name is made longer.
There are far too many men out there trying not to lash out when referred to as "The Toddster," "Todd-o," or "Toddzilla." Just as bad, are the patronizing nicknames of "Toddy," "Todders," or "Toddle."
If you're looking for a lasting nickname, go with something unrelated to the name. If you're looking to make a fun little game of it, try calling him something different each time. Make up some strange name that Todd could be short for or invent a strange middle name to accompany the short given name.
"Nice tie there, Toddbert."
"Excuse me, Toddifer."
If you have to think hard on it though, forget it. Nicknames are meant to be natural, never forced.

Who was nickname peg legged and why was he important to New York city?
The nickname "Pegleg" refers to Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Director-General of the colony of New Netherland, who served from 1647 to 1664. His accomplishments as Director-General included expansion of the settlement beyond the southern tip of Manhattan, construction of a wall for protection against attacks by Native Americans (this later became Wall Street), digging a canal to drain a noxious swampy area (this developed into Canal Street), and constructing the "Broad Way", a spacious and straight roadway far easier to travel than the narrow twisted streets in rest of the colony.
Stuyvesant was born in the Netherlands around 1612. As director of the Dutch West India Company's colony of Curaçao from 1642 to 1644, he attacked the Spanish-held island of Saint Martin. During the battle, a cannon ball destroyed the lower part of his right leg. The missing part was replaced with a wooden peg and so he became known as "Pegleg Peter".
In 1664, Charles II of England gave to his brother, the Duke of York, a large tract of land that included New Netherland, even though the Dutch also claimed the land and had actually settled it. Four English ships sailed into New Amsterdam's harbor and demanded surrender. Feisty Pegleg wanted to fight them, but wiser heads prevailed, and he surrendered. New Amsterdam became New York.

How can a disorderly state ever transform into an orderly state?
It happens all around - and within - us. Living things tend to make order out of disorder. This is in defiance of the second law of thermodynamics. As long as there is life, it will try to sustain itself. And to do that, it needs to "order" things, which is what its biochemical machinery does. It could be argued that gravity orders things as well. On the cosmic scale, gravity pulls gas and dust together to make stars and solar systems. Eventually, disorder may prevail. In the long term, order breaks down. Disorder has an implacable ally - time. Can life go on indefinitely? Can the universe itself?

1) In the 1910s and 1920s, the purse (prizes) for horse races used to be called an 'apple'. New York, as the home of some of the largest racetracks, became known as the 'big apple'.
2) Jazz musicians had nicknames for all the big cities where jazz and blues clubs could be found. New Orleans was the Big Easy, for instance, and New York was the Big Apple.
3) In the 1970s, during New York City's big financial crisis, marketers were looking for a way to promote tourism and bring in some much-needed income. They revived the term, using it in their advertising ever since.
