In This House of Brede: nun names

[dustthouart.livejournal.com]

I just finished In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden, published in 1969, which is an excellent novel about a Benedictine female monastery in the 50s and 60s. I loved the book (strong recommendation) and I also loved the names of the characters, many of which suit my own naming style. The main character, Philippa, is actually my daughter's name too.

The book contains a list of the nuns and sisters, so here are the religious names from that, with birth names (if known and different) in parentheses:
( Long list )

My favorites (not necessarily to use): Beatrice, Colette, Thecla, Elspeth, Renata, Anselma

WDYT?

Does anyone know of any name with the nickname Reggie, besides Regina or Reginald?

I think Reggie is cute, but I dislike both of those names.
