Adrian / Adrienne-Adie
Abigail -Abbie
Alexis-Lexie
Benjamin-Benjy/Benny
Donovan-Donnie
Christian/Christopher -Chrissie/y (more likely Chris)
Elijah-Eli
Harrison-Harry
Sophia-Sophie
Teresa-Terry
William-Liam/Willie/Billy

Why does the nn have to be 2 syllables?
Tbh, school kids tend to make their own nn up for friends, regardless of what you call DC at home. Nobody in DH’s family ever referred to him by the name that either me or his friends know him as.
