[Opinions] Re: Choose a nickname for...
in reply to a message by Pie
Dorothea nn Thea is my favorite but Dot and Dottie are also cute nn's. Cordelia nn Corie or Cora is my second favorite. Also nice are Lucinda nn Lucy or Cindy, Cassandra nn Cass, Cassie, or Sandy, Allegra nn Allie, Petronella nn Nell and Nellie or Petra or Pennie, Susanna nn Susie and Suz, Margaret nn Maggie or Mags or Meg or Peggy or Pearl, Caroline nn Callie, and Frederica nn Freddie - Erica could also work for Frederica but I'm not a fan of it.
Valentina nn Tina or Val, Angelina nn Angie or Lina, and Patricia nn Trish are okay/ fairly nice - not a fan of Pat or Patty unless for a boy named Patrick.
I love many of the nn's for Elizabeth but the name is too popular and a bit bland. Anastasia I'm not a fan of but I like Ana or Sia and Stacy is fairly cute.
I like Geraldine, Victoria, Morgana, and Sabina but the nn's are just okay. Geraldine nn Dina, Dean, Gerry, or Gera could all work. Sabina nn Bean/ Bine or Sabre are kind of cool but I don't feel like Sabina needs a nn. Morgana nn Ana, Mora, or Morgie could all work. Torie/ Tory for Victoria is the best of the bunch but I'm really not a fan of any of the Victoria nn's and all the Victoria's I've known well have used no nn's.
For boys my favorite is Lysander nn Sandy. Melchior nn Mel is also fairly cool. Robert nn Robin is nice or no nn, but I'm not a fan of Bert and Bertie, or Rob and Robby, or Bob and Bobby.
Francis nn Frank or Frankie or Cissy or no nn is just okay, not my fave. I can't think of any nn's for Achilles or Florian or Constantine that I like. Constantine nn Stan is okay, I'm not a fan of Con or Conny.
Alexander, Michael, and Nicholas are all fairly bland but I like their nn's - Alexander especially has a ton of great nn's.
TL;DR
My favorites are Dorothea nn Thea and Lysander nn Sandy.

Got confused...
I got confused by what you were asking and thought you mean't that we had to pick one and come up with a nn for it. Now I see that you mean't you wanted us to pick only one nn for each of these names:
Margaret nn Pearl - too many good ones
Robert nn Robin
Caroline nn Callie
Frederica nn Freddie
Cassandra nn Cass and Cassie
Alexander nn Sandy - too many good ones
Sabina nn Bean/ Bine
Anastasia nn Sia
Michael nn Mikey
Susanna nn Susie and Suz
Geraldine nn Geri or Alda - not a fan of any nn's
Francis nn Frankie - not a fan of any nn's
Angelina nn Lina
Lucinda nn Lucy
Achilles nn Lee
Elizabeth nn Elsie or Lizzie - too many good ones
Morgana nn Mora and Morie
Petronella nn Nell and Nellie
Allegra nn Allie
Florian nn Ian
Patricia nn Trish
