I’ve got a character, and i want her nn to be [name]Dee[/name] or [name]Deedee[/name], but i want her to have a longish name in real life, so that she seems down to earth and less like her snobbish parents (who are the [name]Marquis[/name] and [name]Marquess[/name] of Tiberwood, and are extremely traditional)
Any ideas?
[name]Diana[/name]
[name]Deanna[/name]
[name]Dona[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name]
[name]Deidra[/name] (or is it spelled Diedra?)
[name]Dana[/name]
[name]Danica[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name]
And more of a stretch…
[name]Daffodil[/name]
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f]- A friend called this goes by [name_f]Dee[/name_f]
[name_f]Danielle[/name_f]- i have thought about going by DD or deedee! lol
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u] - Starts de xx
Let’s see. Longer names that a traditional/snobby [name_m]Marquess[/name_m] & [name_m]Marquis[/name_m] might pick:

[name_f]Demetria[/name_f]
[name_f]Drusilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
Dionysia
[name_u]Dominique[/name_u]
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Danna[/name_f]? Or [name_f]Danae[/name_f]?

I hope some of these are what you’re looking for!
What about [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]? I actually did this for one of my short stories. It was steampunk and I wanted something unusual but not too weird so I just used this name as my main character’s full name but used [name_f]Dee[/name_f] as the name she went by.
[name_m]How[/name_m] 'bout :
[name_f]Ardeena[/name_f]
[name_f]Aydeena[/name_f]
[name_f]Bedeelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadeena[/name_f]
[name_f]Candeea[/name_f]
[name_f]Deedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Deena[/name_f]
[name_f]Deetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Deeva[/name_f]
[name_f]Edeena[/name_f]
[name_f]Gardeenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kadeeja[/name_f]
[name_f]Khadeeja[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadeeda[/name_f]
[name_f]Odeelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tadeeta[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f], [name_u]Andrea[/name_u], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Deirdre[/name_f]… Or [name_f]Deandra[/name_f]…
I read a book once where a character named [name_f]Delicia[/name_f] went by [name_f]Dee[/name_f].
