searching for uncommon names with common nicknames

[ghostetler]

I love names a little unheard of but with common simple nicknames. So far I have found Bennett nn Ben and Emmeline nn Emme. Please add more names with the similar trend, thanks

My faves:

Emerald, NN Emmy
Susannah, NN Susie or Suki
Imogen or Genevieve, each NN Gen (Imogen is uncommon in the US, it's quite popular here in Oz)
Cassia NN Cassie
Minerva, NN Minnie, Mina.

I also like a lot of the -bella names, and rose- names especially Rosabel (hey it's both, I had to like it) and Annabel, Mirabelle, Rosemary and Rosamund. They're not the most popular names in each category.
