New Name - same nickname

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

This is going to be a strange request...

I've got a friend who is undergoing gender reassignment pretty soon.  Her current name is John Paul.  What are some girl names that are similar, and might have the same nickname (JP)?  We're at a loss really, but she'd rather do a similar name than start completely over.  If she can't find something that "fits" she's going with Elizabeth, nn Liz.

I had a cousin that went from Raymond to Rachel, for example, keeping Ray as the nickname the same.  (Well it went to Rae, but same idea and pronunciation.)

Thanks!

Joanna
Joan
Jean (Anglicized form of Jean, prn Geen)
Jeanne (French name)
Jolene (this is the odd one out, but I like it)
Juniper (so that JP would make sense just from the first name)

Otherwise, she could still get JP from her initials, like now
Joan Pauline
Joanna Paula
Jean Polina

Different suggestions:
Jasmin Pearl
Jennifer Paris
Julia Priscilla
Jessica Patricia
Jane Piper

Juniper is great--I can see JP totally!
