Sally's not cutesy. It has enough background to stand alone. I would not feel cheated out of a "serious" name if I were Sally. It's just not very formal, but that's okay, because it's not too childish or informal.

Salma, Rosalba, Salome. I'd rather just Sally by itself. I think Sarah nn Sally is alright, but doing that does seem cutesy. Sarah does not need a nickname.

Sally Sinead and Sally Jane are both great combos.

Plain Jessie, Sam, and Penny bother me a little bit. Plain Max and Sally don't. I don't know why - Jessie, Sam, and Penny just seem more like nicknames.

I like Rick but not Richard, and Charlie but not Charles, and Tom but not Thomas. I think I'd be willing to use the full names, and just trust that I wouldn't have to hear them often. That's what I'd rather, if it were my own name. Max is a fave of mine but I'd use it by itself. Penny is a fave of mine too, but I'd use Penelope to get it.
