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

Love Tabitha too, adding that to the list!

What does everyone think of Anneliese/Annalise?

I can't decide whether it's a classic sounding name or a bit trendy?!?

I always liked Anneliese, however you spell it. I don't think it is the sort of name people think of as classic though. You are more likely to get people saying it's quite 80s. So not currently trendy either. Maybe it's a classic in other European countries.

Very pretty though, and diminutives could be Anna, Annie, Lisa etc
