Victoria - VickyElisabeth/Elizabeth - Liz or Lizzie. Maybe Eliza, although I consider it a name in its own right, not a nn.Margaret - This name upsets me too much to say. It is associated with a friendship gone bad.Alexandra - Zandra. Can't stand Alex for a female.Katherine/Catherine - Kat or KathyNathaniel - Nate maybe. I don't really like any nicknames for this.Alexander - Alex maybe. Strongly dislike Zander.

Victoria: I guess I would have to go with Tori, because Vicki doesn't appeal to me at all.Elisabeth/Elizabeth: I like Eliza the best, but I'd also use it as a stand-alone name. I also think Betty/Betsy is charmingly retro. Beth is okay, too. I find Liz/Lizzie too common and it reminds me of a lizard.Margaret: Maggie, I suppose.

Alexandra: Probably Sasha, though I do prefer Sasha on a boy. Lexi isn't terrible, either. This is my cousin's name and she goes by Alex, which I find too common.Katherine/Catherine: Kate/Cate is my favorite, but I'd also use it as a stand-alone. I also like Kit. I'm warming to Kat/Cat, as well.Nathaniel: Nate is the only one I like.Alexander: Sasha. Strangely enough, I don't find Alex too common for a boy, but I like Sasha best.

Victoria - Tori, I guess
Elizabeth - I'd use Nell and Lizzie, but I also like Effie, Lily, Ellie, and I've come around on Beth.
Margaret - Sheesh. We'd use Maggie, Mae, and Mamie, but I also like Gretchen, Meg, Margo, Greta, and Molly.
Alexandra - Alex!
Katherine / Catherine - Kitty, Kit, Kate; CateNathaniel - Niel (that could work!), and I have nothing against Nate or Nathan. I just am not a huge fan of this name so I don't have strong nickname feelings for it.
Alexander - Oohhh... I have nothing against Alex, but it's sooo boring to me on a boy. So I'll go with Sasha or Alec.

Victoria - Vicky
Elisabeth/Elizabeth - Elise, Lizzy
Margaret - Peggy
Alexandra - I can't stand Alex. I think it's so overused as a nickname and it ruins both the male and female Alex- names. Lexie is kind of cute.
Katherine/Catherine - Cat or CathyNathaniel - Nath
Alexander - Alec. I absolutely adore Alec and think it works great on its own.In general I'm not fond of nicknames and names shouldn't be shortened just for the sake of it. I think all the names on your list are better without any nicknames.

I am not a fan of Alex either, I prefer Xander for a boy but for a girl, I'm not sure. Maybe Ally or Sandy.My son's nickname is Nath.I love Peggy for Margaret.
