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!

I'm struggling to find a J and P that go as a whole name like John Paul but here are some names I like :) I'm sure lots of them would work as a middle name rather than JohnPaul if that makes sense :p

Joy
Jolene
Julia
Jean
Jessica [I love the nn Jess]

Penelope
Patricia [love the nns for that]
Pandora
Petra
Piper
Pepper

I think the ones like Jean or Joy would go nicely with the longer P names :)
