I like all of the names you listed but I particularly love:

Adelaide, Eleanor, Helena, Imogen, Margaret (I'm assuming you meant Margaret and not Margret?), Penelope, Tabitha, Victoria, Violet Wilhelmina, Augustus, Charles, Edward (I like variants of Edward better--like Edwin and Edmund), Henry, Theodore and William.

My husband and I are pretty set on using Henry for a future child but we like the nn Hal the best. Huck is cute!

I really love the following nns:

Addie, Mila, Lottie, Charlie, Dottie (prefer Dotty though I think), Norah, Eliza, Etta, Lena, Lulu, Greta (my favorite), Piper, Willa, Lux, August, Eddie, Huck, Ike (love it), Leo, Milo, Miles, Nico, Teddy, Theo, Will, and Liam.

Picked my favorites, sometimes choosing one you hadn't listed. Did you just flat make some of these up?? lol I mean really, Zigby? Milo for Michael? What? And did you intentionally leave out the obvious ones like Michael-->Mike, Nicholas-->Nick, Victoria-->Vicky, Tori? Inquiring minds want to know.
