Magdalena: Maggie, Magda, or Lena. Magda sounds older to me, so if it is a kid or a teenager I'd prefer Maggie or Lena.
Sofia: Just Sofia. Sofie is alright, but I don't think it's needed.
Larisa: No nn needed.
Josephine: Jo
Anika: No nn needed; Ana, Ani, or Annie if anything.
Anastasia: Ana. Maybe Stasia or Asia. Although I know a few Anastasias who go by Anastasia all the time, and it isn't as overly long as you'd expect.
Gabriel: Gabe, but not really needed.
Emanuel: Manuel, if anything.
Sebastian: Seb. I like Bastian too, but for some reason I prefer Bastian as a full name and Seb as a short form of Sebastian.
Dominik: Dom or Nik, but not necessarily needed.
Simon: None needed.
Branimir: Bran, which is probably my favorite male nn of all time. :)
