Queen, I came across someone who goes by a nickname and I asked where the nn came from her real name was Queen but she found it very pretentious so came up with a nn.

I can't think of Y names
Zebeedee a bit springy

And I'll bomb out Alba,
It might work in out country but in Scotland it's Gaelic for Scotland. It's also a political party.
I wouldn't use Cymru or Erin either. I think it's a weird thing to do call your child after a Country but using a minority language to do it.
