Cairo "Cai" - I love Cairo but don't think it needs a nn
Caius "Cai" - Same as Cairo
Calligraphy "Calli" - I like Callie (this spelling) but short for Calliope

A lot of the nns, IMO, felt too contrived. Many names get shortened occastionally in coversation (ex. little Cairo may be called Cai every once in a whil) but I don't think they'd work as a "formal" nn.
