Curious about what category these fall into...

Ok so you know how all the baby websites and books have 'traditional', 'english', etc baby name lists.
Well my husband is Chris (Christopher) SIL Kim (Kimberly). We both really like the long names with a shortened name. I love Jake (Jacob) but that's my neighbor's kid!
Does anyone know what category these names would fall into so I can look more? We find out Monday what we are having. I also like Drew (Andrew) but that's my step-bro. Help Please!
Also if you have any suggestions that go along the lines of these names that would be great!

Re: Curious about what category these fall into...
Andrew and Jacob are both Biblical and timeless names... meaning they are used pretty regularly in every generation.
Other timeless names:
Benjamin (Ben), William (Will, Bill, Liam), Alexander (Alex, Xander), Matthew (Matt), Michael (Mike), Daniel (Danny, Dan), David (Dave, Davey), Samuel (Sam), Joseph (Joe, Joey), Joshua (Josh), Thomas (Tom, Tommy), Anthony (Tony), Nicholas (Nick)...
Stephen - Steve
Charles - Charlie
Matthew - Matt
Jonathan - Jon
Montgomery - Monty
Edward - Eddie/Ed
Patrick - Pat
Douglas - Doug
Donald - Don
Michael - Mike
Lucas - Luke
Girl names are harder for me:
Christina - Christy
Barbara - Barb
Jessica - Jessie/Jess
Jennifer - Jen/Jenny
