Classic girls name with lots of nickname options

We're looking for a classic name that's not too modern or trendy, that has lots of variations she could choose her nickname from when she's older.

Something along the lines of Elizabeth, but we can't use as it's a family name already.

Totally stuck Confused

Thank you for all the ideas, my own name has come up once or twice.

Adding Vivienne and Josephine to the list, although surname begins with an F so not sure if Josephine will be too much??

Love Harriet too Smile
