[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
Looking for some Catholic and [name_u]Christian[/name_u] names that don’t have any intuitive nicknames. This doesn’t mean completely devoid of nicknames, but ones that people won’t jump to. But, I would prefer to be cautious and veer towards no nicknames 
Names of this kind:
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] (virtue)
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] (virtue)
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] (virtue)
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] (St Catherine)
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_u]Anne[/name_u]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Beth[/name_f] (prefix for many places, including [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] and [name_f]Bethlehem[/name_f] - “house”)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] (symbolism)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] (symbolism)
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] (dim. Elizabeth)
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Trinity[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (St Elizabeth)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] (feminine version of John)
Would love some more suggestions!
Thank you so much

“Catholic and Christian” is an odd way to phrase it - Catholics are [name_u]Christian[/name_u].
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Charity[/name_f]

Yes, I know that - I was just making the distinction between [name_u]Saint[/name_u] and [name_f]Non[/name_f] [name_u]Saint[/name_u] Biblical and [name_f]Virtue[/name_f] names, as as a Catholic myself, I generally think of [name_u]Saint[/name_u] names as “Catholic names”.
A better way of phrasing would have been [name_u]Saint[/name_u] names, Biblical names, and [name_f]Virtue[/name_f] names.
(Unfortunately it was very late at night when I posted this and phrased it quite rudimentary)
