Perry was the first one I thought of. It's natural for the first syllable to spawn the nickname even if it isn't stressed, like: Camilla to Cam, Alexandra/Alexander to Alex, Matteo to Matt, Elizabeth to Ellie, Victoria to Vicky, Nathaniel to Nate, Samantha to Sam, Penelope to Penny, etc. (And a lot of nicknames aren't even first OR stressed like Liam for William, Gail for Abigail, and Lottie for Charlotte, but I do think those would feel like a stretch if they weren't already popular).
