The truth is, I have met the right person, only he's not in love with me, and until I stop loving him no-one else stands a chance
(Four Weddings and a Funeral)

It's long, but perhaps you'll find it interesting?

Some are more than a bit unusual, but what the heck.

Sapphira, nn Sira or Sara
Malcolm, nn Mac (I know, not that unusual a name, but there you go...)
Ebenezer, nn Ben
Josiah, nn Joe
Mahalia, nn Haley or Mia or Malia
Corrine, nn Corrie
Vaughan, nn Van
Keturah, nn Kera
Jessamyn, nn Jess or Jessie or Jessy
Arianna, nn Arin (I know Arianna's not unusual, but Arin as a nn is a little more usual than Arianna).

Off the top of my head the only thing that I can think of is Winifred nickname Fred.

My friends' (twin sisters) names are Willamina and Charlotta. They go by Willie and Charlie.
Also Cleopatra, Cleo or Pattie or Pat, etc.
And Philadelphia - most girls go by Dephie, or so my sister says.
I could think of tons later, just not now... so I'll probably be back.
