Patricia -- Tricia (I'm not too fond of either nickname or Patricia itself, though)
John -- either Johnny, Jack, or just John
Katherine -- Kate (although I prefer the full name here, too)
Elizabeth -- Eliza by far (or Liza)
Margaret -- Maggie, I guess, although I'd use Margot as either a nickname for or instead of Margaret
Henry -- Hal, which I greatly prefer to Henry itself
Robert -- Rob, but the full name's better (even if I don't really like it that much)
Edward -- Ed, although I don't like Edward or any of those nicknames
Melinda -- Mel (or even Linda)
Cynthia -- Cyn, although I'd rather hear the full name
Alexandra -- Alex, Sandy, Lexi, or the full name (and maybe Xandra) depending on the personality
William -- Will (again, I like the full name better)

Victoria---Vicky ... or Vicki, or Vikki
William--- Will. Bill is dumpy, Liam seems pretentious when it's a nick, unless I guess you're Irish?
Alexander---Alex for most, Xander for a few, Sandy very rarely; all are ok
Patricia---Patty. Tricia is so disco!
John---Johnny. Jack isn't a nick for John except on paper; it seems artificial.
Katherine---Kathy or Kate: I dunno. I'd be a Kathy, but I like Kate a little better. Kat is good, too.
Elizabeth--Liz! Eliza is a freestanding name to me, so is Beth. Betsy is okay.
Margaret-- Peggy, although that is more of a name on its own to me, and a little artificial as a nick. Margie is more of a nick for Marjorie to me, and I think Maggie & Meg are good. Depends on the person.
Henry---Harry or Hal: Henry does not need a nickname. I think Hank is better than Harry or Hal, though.
Robert--Rob, hands down, no contest, I think Bob is pretty dorky on anyone under about 50.
Edward---Ed, or preferably Eddie. Ted is for Theodore, Ned is freestanding
Melinda--Mel
Cynthia---Cindy
Alexandra---Alex or Sandy. But Sandra is my favorite.

Victoria. Tori because Vicky is horrible.
William. Liam. Runner up Will. Bill is too old fashion.
Alexander. Alex. Xander is gross and Sandy is a girl name.
Patricia. Tricia. Patty sounds grandmaish.
John. Why would John need a nn. John is the nn. Johnny for a kid. Jack for an adult.
Katherine. Kate.
Elizabeth. Liz. Runner up is Eliza. Beth makes me assume your name is Bethany. Betsy sounds old ladish.
Margaret--Maggie. Meg makes me assume your name is Megan. Peggy doesn't even make sense. Margie does make more sense but I just don't like it much.
Henry. Henry is way better than any of the nn it has and doesn't even need one. I refuse to use a nn for Henry.
Robert. Rob.
Edward. Ed. I don't get why Ted or Ned are even options.
Melinda. Mel.
Cynthia. Cindy. Why would you want to call your kid Cyn.
Alexandra. Alex. Lexi is too overused for girls. Sandy is too oldfashioned. Zan just seems stupid.
William. Liam. Runner up Will. Bill is too old fashion.
Alexander. Alex. Xander is gross and Sandy is a girl name.
Patricia. Tricia. Patty sounds grandmaish.
John. Why would John need a nn. John is the nn. Johnny for a kid. Jack for an adult.
Katherine. Kate.
Elizabeth. Liz. Runner up is Eliza. Beth makes me assume your name is Bethany. Betsy sounds old ladish.
Margaret--Maggie. Meg makes me assume your name is Megan. Peggy doesn't even make sense. Margie does make more sense but I just don't like it much.
Henry. Henry is way better than any of the nn it has and doesn't even need one. I refuse to use a nn for Henry.
Robert. Rob.
Edward. Ed. I don't get why Ted or Ned are even options.
Melinda. Mel.
Cynthia. Cindy. Why would you want to call your kid Cyn.

Victoria--- Vicky and Tori bring totally opposite images to me. Tori is young, modern & fun, while Vicky is more old-fashioned and older. So it would depend on the personality.
William--- Will, I think. Billy is cute, though.
Alexander--- Xander hands down
Patricia--- Trish. Tricia bugs me, Patty bugs me more.
John---Johnny
Katherine--- Kate if I was forced, I prefer Kit.
Elizabeth-- Liz
Margaret-- Meg
Henry--- Of those two? Hal. Otherwise Hank.
Robert-- Rob
Edward--- Ed I love Ed.
Melinda-- Mel. Mindy is ditzy to me.
Cynthia--- Cindy.
