Bottom line, some parents actually name their children what they intend to call them. If you like Elisabeth (I prefer Elizabeth, but to each their own) or Lillian (beautiful name), then go for it and don't worry about choosing a nn! :-)

Ashton is terrible on a boy. It's even worse on a girl.
Precious baby boy "HC" born May 2013.
Some other suggestions:
Eden
Maeve
Reagan
Molly
Lana
Elaine
That said I really don't like Ashton.
I like the idea of Charlotte nn Charlie. I think Charlie for a girl is sweet, but that's a matter of personal preference I know. My parents nearly named me Stevie and I am disappointed that they didn't! Perhaps I would have felt differently had I grown up with it.
I really enjoy Harper for a girl as well, but I am not crazy about Ashton as a first name.
ETA: HA! I just went into my running baby name list to add one, and I had Ashton on my girl's list. Funny to see how my taste changes with time.

You could use Ashton as the middle name.
