what do you think about naming your child something that is commonly known/accepted/used as a nickname?

for example, names such as:
Sam
Tom
Rick/Ricky
Elle
Emmy
Alex

any others...

i went to school with a Rickey, that was his full name. his siblings were: Rachael, Rhianna, Raymond & Robert (lol one of those families with their alliteration). which i just found funny that they would name their other sons with names like Robert & Raymond, but he was just Rickey.
