I'm doing a story 1800's-ish too. I went with Dinah Ashby for my female character, but that can't really be abbreviated (unless to Ash). Maybe Cassandra (Cassie > Cass, Sandra > Sandie), Harriet (Harry), Maryanne (Mary > Ary, Anne), or Danielle (Dani > Dan). Not sure about the histories on those names though. :/ Sorry I can't be of more help.
