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.

Oh wow, there's a dude in here? Sorry!

Rickey is just bad any way you slice it. What on earth is wrong with Richard?

I'm resigned to being the only dude and often called a chick in this place, lol.

True.. but any of those.. Sam, Rickey, Tom.. I mean, they just dont' sound complete.
