I like your name; to me it blends elegance with austerity. I would think that Andi (Andy / Andie), Anna, Annie or similar variations or spellings can be classified as pet names, or how about Raney / Reni; yet this would depend on your preference. If you find a nickname / pet name variable that you like, I hope you try using it wherever you feel the appropriate level of comfort. In the US, your legal signature
need not resemble the spelling of your legal name - so perhaps this would be a way to familiarize yourself with a (new?) nickname? Best of luck.
Both my first & middle names have numerous variations immediately available -- and I love these, as I used different versions at different periods throughout my life. This however is a double edged sword, as some folks take it upon themselves to use a common short form or nickname without permission. I despise being called 'Barb', but I am indifferent if someone refers to me as Barb - i.e. "Barb said ___".
I have nicknames for certain friends that are unrelated with their given-name or nick-name; one of which is a name from Snow White's seven dwarves.
