Three letter boys/girls names

[Katlow]

Eeeee I'm excited.

So, I'm after some 3 letter names. Or names that can be shortened to 3 letters as a nickname.

Me and my husband both have 3 letter nicknames so, for example, Jay & Cat so want something that suits our little family unit

Ada
Ida
Ivy
Eva
Ava
Sam
Ian
Jon
Ron
Tom
Kit

I love challenges like this. Any indication of style?

Kit (Christopher)
Jon (Jonathan)
Joe (Joseph)
Sam (Samuel)
Max (Maxwell)
Dom (Dominic)
Cam (Cameron)
Eli (Elijah)
Rex

Ros (Rosalind)
Dom (Dominique)
Caz (Caroline)
Ada
Ida
Fay
Roo (Ruby, Ruth)
Win (Winifred)
Mel (Melody)

Amy
Meg

Ben
Max

Do they need to be 3 letters? Some 3 letter names are 1 syllable some 2. Does the amount of letters matter more than that?

Ann, Ada, Ava, Ida, Ivy, Eva, Eve, Amy, Kay, Kim, Jem, Gem, Liv, Liz, Lou, Red, Bea, Tia, Mia, Lea, Ria, Pia, Gia, Nia, Sia, Han - Hannah, Kit, Joy, May, Meg, Mog, Mya, Uma, Val, Viv, Zoe, Ari, Aya, Sue, Sam, Pam, Lua, Jen.

Jan, Jon, Sam, Joe, Tim, Tom, Tam, Zak, Ash, Ben, Kit, Dan, Dom, Rob, Red, Ray, Rex, Rio, Leo, Lee, Tye, Ian, Roy, Ali, Mac, Max, Rex, Gus, Guy, Ira, Abe, Cam, Eli, Zed, Tre, Bob, Bud.

Oooo I love these! Been at work and only just seen all the responses.
Ones I'm loving so far are:

Kit (although not keen on Christopher)
Bea (although not keen on Beatrice... I'm sensing a theme here :P)
I LOVE Ivy but thought it may be too common
Love Mya and Faye

I think its more the one syllable aspect of it so it doesnt sound odd. Like I love some longer names but when you say all our names together it just sounds daft.

Thankyou so much for all your suggestions!

What about Phoebe with Bee as the shortening?

Audrey - Aud
Dorothy - Dot
Evelyn/Evangeline - Eve
Henry/Henrietta - Hen
Joseph - Joe
Mabel - May
Megan - Meg
Miriam - Mim
Olive/Olivia - Liv
Pippa/Philippa - Pip
Rachel - Rae
Rosalind - Roz
Sebastian - Seb

Of course, there's every chance that your child will end up calling themselves a completely different nickname which has no relation to their name and/or a different number of letters.
