Didymus sounds like it is a nickname for Epididymis.

yams!!
Bodicea is I admit an unusual name and ripe for teasing (is sometimes also pronounced BOO di cuh), woe unto the teaser if a girl or woman with this name is teased, if she lives up to her name…
I feel the same way about Gilgamesh
So I’m assuming little Sephiroth or Balthazar is doing well? 
Ok, you can stop looking now. One of these is the name for you, I just know it.

I’ve got a Pippa (short for Philippa as you’ve mentioned). And I still think it’s one of the greatest names ever. 
Having the choice to shorten the name is important I think, so that the little child can have the ‘familiar’ name, but as an adult and needing something more formal, can revert to that longer version later on.
I also have a Jeremy, a Hugh and a Timothy, so it’s English turtles all the way down in this family I’m afraid. 
Morphina
Belladonna
Mescalito
Someone a “fan” of those parents who not only give their girls super feminine trendy names, but also delibratly misspell them?
Okay, digging around in my family tree, we have:
Savillion Fuller ( my great…grandfather)
Sedonia
Clementine (called her Teenie, or by my time, Great-Aunt Teenie)
Grover
Hazel
Reuben was my MIL’s father, a true gentleman.
I wanted to name my eldest Ivy, but was voted down. I also wanted Kyliandria, but no go from my conservative husband.
Bad idea. No one listen to Zathras. Zathras have very sad life. Probably have sad death - but at least there is symmetry.

My parents deliberately chose names for me and my siblings that did not have common short forms. Of course my name is 1 syllable and my siblings’ are two, so shortening wasn’t necessary. My dad is named Charles, and does not like being called Charley, or Chuck, or other short forms.
Guy I know is the third of his name, goes by Trey, nicknamed his kid - the fourth of his name - “Reyth”, a variant of a scandanavian word for Four. Um, yeah. Said it will get him beat up in elementary school, but give him a great conversation starter for picking up girls later in life.
I know two of these, Trey and Trace.
Yes, really.
It worked for Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve.

There was a documentary a while back with great suggestions…
