Sweet nickname, original name!

Girl Names
1

I am searching for names of these category.
A original, pretentious, eccentric maybe name like [name_f]Constantina[/name_f] or [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] with a short, normal, down to earth nickname like [name_f]Essie[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] or [name_u]Josie[/name_u].

For example [name_f]Tomyris[/name_f] who goes by [name_u]Romy[/name_u]? [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] whose full name is [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]? [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] whose full name is [name_f]Dora[/name_f]?

Stretchy options welcome too! :)) This is just for fun.
