Girls name that can't be obviously shortened

Due baby 2 in November and looking for girls names that can't be automatically shortened, although fully aware they'll still probably end up with a nickname! We have a little boy called Henry already.
So far we like Erin and Verity.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Anya, Martha, Jane, Lyla are a few that are hard to shorten.

My niece was named Eve as her mother rightly assumed it couldn't be shortened but the family lengthened it instead and either called her Evie or Eve+middle name. You can't win Grin

My DD has a short name, it's been lengthened as her nickname by friends.
