Tam - Tamsin, Thomasina, Tamira, Tamora and Tamara / Tammara. Tamira is the female version of Tamir.

Jem - I can see Gem for Gemma and Gemmata. But for Jem all I see is Jemma, Jemima, Jamesina and Jasmine.

Minnie - Wilhelmina / Willemina, Wilhelmine, Mina / Minna, Minette, Minerva and Millicent. Millicent you could use Millie or Minnie. Also Helmine, Hermine and Hermione.

Tilda - I can see Tilda or Thilda for these. Matilda / Mathilda, Matilde / Mathilde, Mechtilde / Mechthild, Mahthildis, Ottilia, Ottilie, Klotild, Clotilda, Clotilde / Clothilde, Clothildis and Chlotichilda.

Xan - Alexandra, Alexandria, Alexandrine, Xandra, Xanthe and Xanthia.
