Nelly (elephant) or anything that could result in that nickname.

I have a close friend whose (Indian) name has resulted inthe nickname Nelly.
He's also very overweight-(luckily I suppose?) he takes it in very good humour and says it fits, but no 😆

Ottilie. It genuinely took me a while to figure out that it's not spelled Otterly, as in like an otter.

Peony. It shortens to Pee.

Sandra. I've never met a Sandra who wasn't horrible!

I was going to say Ryan too. Name's nice enough but...
