Elsie, Beth, Libby, Bessie
Maisie, Maggie, Meg, Daisy
Lexie, Alexa
Kitty, Kate/Cate

---

No nickname, I loathe Nate and Nathan is it's own name
Sasha

Victoria --none, but if I were forced to pick, Vicky
Elisabeth/Elizabeth --Liz, Beth, and Bess (all about equal)
Margaret --Maggie and Greta
Alexandra --Alexa
Katherine/Catherine -- Kate and Katie (my cousin uses both)

---

Nathaniel --Nathan
Alexander --Alex

Victoria - Tori
Elisabeth/Elizabeth - Ellie, Libby (child) or Liz (adult)

Katherine/Catherine - Kate/Cate

---

Nathaniel - Nate
Alexander - Alex

Victoria - Toria
Elisabeth/Elizabeth - Ellie / Eliza
Margaret - Margie, Maggie,
Alexandra - Lexie
Katherine/Catherine - Kitty, Kat, Katie, Kate / Cate, Cat,

---

Nathaniel - Nate, Nathan
Alexander - Xander, Alex, Ander

---

Victoria - Vicky

---

Elisabeth/Elizabeth - Liz or Lizzie. Maybe Eliza, although I consider it a name in its own right, not a nn.

---

Margaret - This name upsets me too much to say. It is associated with a friendship gone bad.

---

Alexandra - Zandra. Can't stand Alex for a female.

---

Katherine/Catherine - Kat or Kathy

---

Nathaniel - Nate maybe. I don't really like any nicknames for this.

---

Alexander - Alex maybe. Strongly dislike Zander.

Elisabeth/Elizabeth - Ella, Libby, Zebby
Margaret - Maisie, Gretchen
Alexandra - Alix
Katherine/Catherine - Kitty, Rin

---

Nathaniel - Nat, Thaniel
Alexander - Alec, Sascha

Victoria: I guess I would have to go with Tori, because Vicki doesn't appeal to me at all.

---

Elisabeth/Elizabeth: I like Eliza the best, but I'd also use it as a stand-alone name. I also think Betty/Betsy is charmingly retro. Beth is okay, too. I find Liz/Lizzie too common and it reminds me of a lizard.

---

Margaret: Maggie, I suppose.

Alexandra: Probably Sasha, though I do prefer Sasha on a boy. Lexi isn't terrible, either. This is my cousin's name and she goes by Alex, which I find too common.

---

Katherine/Catherine: Kate/Cate is my favorite, but I'd also use it as a stand-alone. I also like Kit. I'm warming to Kat/Cat, as well.

---

Nathaniel: Nate is the only one I like.

---

Alexander: Sasha. Strangely enough, I don't find Alex too common for a boy, but I like Sasha best.

Margaret - Sheesh. We'd use Maggie, Mae, and Mamie, but I also like Gretchen, Meg, Margo, Greta, and Molly.
Alexandra - Alex!
Katherine / Catherine - Kitty, Kit, Kate; Cate

---

Nathaniel - Niel (that could work!), and I have nothing against Nate or Nathan. I just am not a huge fan of this name so I don't have strong nickname feelings for it.
Alexander - Oohhh... I have nothing against Alex, but it's sooo boring to me on a boy. So I'll go with Sasha or Alec.

Victoria = Tori, Torri, Vicky

---

Nathaniel = Nat, Nathan

Alexandra - I can't stand Alex. I think it's so overused as a nickname and it ruins both the male and female Alex- names. Lexie is kind of cute.
Katherine/Catherine - Cat or Cathy

---

Nathaniel - Nath
Alexander - Alec. I absolutely adore Alec and think it works great on its own.

---

In general I'm not fond of nicknames and names shouldn't be shortened just for the sake of it. I think all the names on your list are better without any nicknames.
