Oh my god yes yes yes On the Jellicoe Road is sooooooo gooooooooood. I love Melina Marchetta.
Narnie is a really cute nickname, but I have no idea what the full name would be. I suppose it wouldn't really make much sense as a nickname unless, like in the book, it was from a child's pronunciation. I don't think people would really think you were saying Narnia, because there's a different emphasis on the syllables. Just as point of interest, I think I read somewhere that CS Lewis came up with the name Narnia from an Italian town called Narni.
I can only think of two possible full names: Anja/Anya/Ania and Nancy. I think Anja/etc nn Narnie would work pretty well. Maybe Nerida or Nerissa if you wanted the R sound, but in those names there's no other N.
