Megan

Janet (basically any elaborated nickname that is longer than the name itself)
Gretchen
Carrie
Nadia / Nadya
Kate
Billy
Hank

Nick
Tony
Sam
Terry (also for girls)

But then again, it’s OK in the current English culture to have business people, MPs etc called just Tony or just Nick. No one really cares. Most people don’t even realize Jack is a nickname for John or that Janet was originally an affectionate nickname for Jane.
