I replied to your post then lost it!

It's hard to narrow down a list from what you have described, but I thought I'd throw a couple at you

Boys - Jacob (shortened to Jake) or William (shortened to Will, Bill or Billy)

Girls - Elizabeth (shortened to Beth, Liz or Lizzie) or Catherine (shortened to Cath or Cathy or Kate)

Most names can be shortened to something.

lachlan - locky
christopher - chris
anthony - tony
andrew - andy
steven - steve
jason- jay
joseph - joe
phillip - phil
samuel - sam
leroy- lee
daniel - danny

Why don't you work the other way around? Find a short name you like and then figure out a longer version of it?
