Names for a Book

Hi,
I am trying to write a children's book, and I need name ideas. Can anyone think of some really good pretentious, long names for Kindergarten girls, as well as some shorter, nicknamey names? I think I need 5-6 pretentious names and 5-6 nicknamey names. Thanks for your help.

Nn: Evie, Kimie, Nikki, Katie

I've thought about using Dusty as the main character for the book. What do you think she looks like?

I don't know if you want 5/6 longer names that have nicknames themselves or 5/6 longer names and then 5/6 shorter names, so here are some ideas. Hope they help!!!
Longer names with Nicknames of their own:
Evangeline nn Evie
Carrington nn Carrie
Jacqueline nn Jacey
Adelaide nn Addie
Penelope nn Penny/Pen
Anneliese nn Anna
Longer names:
Giselle
Lorelei
Anastasia
Ellery
Reagan
Jemima
Nicknamey Names:
Kate
Ella/Ellie
Becca
Jacey
Lila
Veda
Dusty was actually my mom's nickname when she was a kid. She was a little blond, curly haired little girl who was more on the husky side. (Not fat by any means but not a string bean either). She got the NN because she was always outside playing in the dirt with the boys. :)
