The great things about nicknames is they can be really obscure. They don't need to be obvious at all!

I would go with Dee, Aggie, Dess and Val

Odette- Ode, Dee, Dottie. This is a lovely name, and since it is only two syllables it might not be shortened.
Allegra- Allie/ Ally is the only nicknames that I've heard used unless she uses her middle name.
Odessa- Dess, Dessa, Dessie
Valentina- Tina, Valen, Lentina, Lynn/ Len, Val, Vale

I'll try and add some outside of the box ones too, since I'm sure you've considered the more obvious ones.

---

Odette: Etta, Ettie, Edie, T/Tee, Ted, Teddy
Odessa: Essa, Essie, Sia, Sadie,
Valentina: Enna (Eh-nuh), Nina, Lena

---

Couldn't think of any good ones for Allegra past Ally/Ellie, but for all of them, maybe you could use middles to help make nicknames too e.g. Allegra May could have Amy or Alma, or Odette Maeve nn Demi etc.

Odette: Etta, Ettie, Odie. All suck.

---

Odessa: Odie, Dessa, Dessie, Essie. All suck.

---

Allegra: Allie, Eggie, Leggie. All suck except Allie and Allies are a dime a dozen.

---

Valentina: Val, (kinda butch) Vallie, Tina, maybe Nina. Far and away the best name of this bunch.

Odette - Etta
Allegra - Allie
Odessa - Oda, Dessa, Essie
Valentina - Tina, Vina, Vali

Hi !!!

---

Where I live Valentina is very common.

---

Everyone goes with NN Val or Vale (va-leh) or Tina.

---

Odette is beautiful and I would not use a NN.

---

Allegra is hard to give a NN.. Allie or Ali or Aly could be fine even if I dislike them a lot. I would go with the full name. Maybe Greta could be a short form. I dislike it anyway. I prefer Allegra as its own.

---

Odessa could be Odee/Ody or Dessa.

---

Byeeeeee

If you like the full name, don't worry about the nickname. Most people I know who have nicknames go by things that have NOTHING to do with their name, eg Tom "Red" (red hair), Elizabeth "Midge" (she's the shortest in her family by a long way), Danielle "Dottie", Alice "Rosie" (blushes a lot). Most nicknames are organic.

---

Also, Odette is two syllables. It won't necessarily be shortened.

---

Allegra "Allie"
Allegra Juliet "AJ"

---

Odessa "Essie" "Essa" "Dess"

---

Valentina "Tina" "Val" "Vali"
