Sibilla
Sebastiana
Sebastienne
Seble
Eusebia
Sibeal / Isibeal
Zenobia (Zibby)

Sophonisba

I think Sibby / Zibby is really cute!

Rachel's ideas are a hard act to follow. Maybe something along the lines of
Cecilia Brianne
Cecily Bianca
Cicely Bridget
Serena Bryony
Sidonie Brielle

I could see Sibby working for Sabrina / Sabina, any of the feminizations of Sebastian (Sebastienne, Sebastiana, etc).

---

Zibby could come from Hephzibah, Zibiah, Ziba, maybe Zenobia?

---

(Also, anything that leads to the initials Z.B. or C.B. [though you might end up spelling it Cibby that way?])

It's kind of cute, but it's not really my style. Thinking on it, I just realized I don't have any -ie or -y nicknames for any of the names I like, so definitely not something I'd use. I'd definitely be like "ooh what is that short for?" if I met one though.
