May Jonathan, like Nathaniel, Be Nathan or Nate--or even Natine (for the 'i' to resound like a long "e", or, would this long 'e' pronunciation of Natine / Natia allow Jonathan to move to the feminine as well)?

Yes - Thank you for these!Amaryllis - may S/he be Ellis or Elisha - or through some other spelling?
Sophronius - can he be Sophie, if she is Sophia?? Were he better to substitute the 'ph' for an 'f'? May he or she be Safron / Saphronia?

Frona is also one of the traditional nicknames for Sophronia. That name has a lot of options.

Thank you for this; we can further - not reduce like a fraction, but offer an additional variable to Frona with Ronnie?

I love that Alexander / Alexandra reverts to Sasha.
I love how Jack links with both John & Jacob.
...How Gwendolyn to Gwen and Wendy - yet the possible independence of each. ...How Edward may be Ned or Edie....How Olivia can be Ollie.
