Victoria---Vicky or Tori - I find them both incredible ugly and dated. But I guess Vicki is the best, but I would rather die than using it...
William---Bill, Will, or Liam - Bill and Will is dated and boring. And I like both Liam and William as fullnames, and William nn Liam is a great way to use both.
Alexander---Alex, Sandy, or Xander - I like both Alex and Xander a lot, but I've loved Alexander nn Alex since I was about 10 so...
Patricia---Patty or Tricia - Tricia, since Patty makes me think of boobs.
John---Johnny or Jack - I like Jack a lot more than Johnny, but I just can't see Jack as a nn for John.
Katherine---Kathy or Kate - Less dated and more classic
Elizabeth--Eliza, Liz, Beth, or Betsy - Beth is growing on me, but I still like Eliza the most. But my favorite is Elise
Margaret--Maggie, Meg, Peggy, or Margie - Neither, but Maggie is the best-
Henry---Harry or Hal - Don't really like any, but Hal is...really bad.
Robert--Rob or Bob
Edward---Ted, Ned, or Ed - I can't see how Ted or Ned is related to Edward, so, Ed.
Melinda--Mindy or Mel - Mel seems more logical
Cynthia---Cindy or Cyn
Alexandra---Alex, Sandy, Lexi, or Zan - Alex is for boys, Sandy is ugly and I've never thought about Zan, but it might grow on me
