I can see Kathleen being called Kate. I am used to Rebecca's being called Becky or Becca. Beth, where I live, is a nn for Elisabeth or other Beth related names. But if that is what she likes to be called then that is her right.

I like these names:

Jayden
Gabriella
Katelyn
Christopher
Ayda
Jake
Jordhan (Jordan)
Jakob (Jacob)
Liam
Lachlan
James
Kathleen

Indisputable proof that -ayden sound is overused.

Hmm I hadn't thought of Beth for Rebecca. I kinda like it, although I like just Rebecca more. And just Bethany, actually. I kind of like Kathleen, although I like Caitlin (kaht-LEEN) more. I'd also be tempted to use Lena over Kate as well (I prefer Cate, and for Cassandra or Carlotta).

Of the names you listed, I like:
Jodie (spelt Jodi, nn for Josephine)
Emily
Stephanie *heart*
Taj
Sasha
Sian
Liam
Lachlan
James (nn Jamie)
