Just posted on the 'grandmother' thread that mine was Harriet, nn Ettie.

Margaret ---- Meg, Daisy???, Margy, Maggie

thats completely unrelated nickname personal to whoever you knew with it, they only share an 'a' - like my friend Laura being nicknamed 'mouse' because shes small, cute and timid but it in no way is a variant of Laura

Actually it is a legitimate nickname, as the flower 'Marguerite' is a daisy:

Marguerite was my gran's name

Lilian nn Lili/Lily
Vivian nn Vivi

I've always liked Virginia nn Ginny. Has Harry Potter ruined that one?

My granny's name is Virginia.

"Jenny" or "Ginny" wouldn't work because DH's name is Forrest... Ha!

My niece is a Kitty (full name) and I have friends who have a Florence and an Iris. If you like Flora / Florrie how about Florentia? Another alternative to Florence.

Also Vivienne - Vivi
Katherine / Kathyrn / Kathleen - Kitty
Joyce - Joy
Rosamund / Rosalie - Rose / Rosie
Philippa - Pippa
Delphine - Dilly
Josephine - Josie

My DD is called Connie.. which is kinda old lady

but she has so many nicknames

Connnifer
Con
Conbon Jovi
Connie Wobble

never thought we'd have a nickname for her or even be able to shorten it.

I love Jean and Ethel too

 

[NotNic]

I actually know a baby Constance nn Connie!

I also on Call the Midwife there is a nurse called Patience - Patsy for short. It's a little different to Patricia which is maybe a more obvious long name for Patsy.
