I don't think your nns are strange at all. I'm persnickety about formal names, but then I'm super lax about nns. For what it's worth, my approach is: formal names are for showing how educated you(r parents) are. Nns are for showing creativity, affection, whimsy. So Elizabeth, nn Buggle-Bumps, makes perfect sense in my world. :-) Your nns are great.

I suppose Dakota "Koda" would only work in the US. We don't pronounce 'D's and 'T's the same in the UK.

Ah you remind me so much of me when I was about 13.
I like these:
Beatrice- Beah (prefer Bea or Bee)
Damion- Dame is fun, but I do hope you know it is a 1930's byword for "woman".
Jamester is really fun
Mackenzie- Mack, boy only
Olivia- Oli, Olive
Samuel- Sam boy
Thomas- Thom (am strangely fond of Thom. I wonder if just Thom would be acceptable as a full name? I do not like Thomas.)

There's an English poet called Thom Gunn! In his case it's short for Thomson.
