I'm not a big fan of nicknames-as-given-names but there are a few that I find more "acceptable" than others.

I like:
Maisie - Prefer as a nn for Margaret or Mairead, but I don't mind it as a given name
Mamie - nn for Mary or Miriam
Millie/Milly - nn for Millicent, Amelia
Tillie/Tilly - nn for Matilda
Tess - actually I prefer this as a given name (not as fond of Theresa for some reason)
Libby - nn for Elizabeth
Nellie/Nell - nn for Eleanor, Penelope
Sadie - ok on its own
Annie - ok on its own but prefer as a nn for Anna
Maggie/Meg - nn for Margaret (or Marguerite)
Lulu - nn for Louise, Louisa, Tallulah
Lottie - nn for Charlotte
