I know a man named Mike. Today, he told me that he has four brothers named Bob, Sam, Joe, and Ed.....BUT these are NOT nicknames for Michael, Robert, Samuel, Joesph and Edward. His last name is Thomas, so their legal names are: Mike Thomas, Bob Thomas, Sam Thomas, Joe Thomas, and Ed Thomas

He explained to me that his mom wanted to give all the children the most simple, basic, normal names, and since everyone (with these particular names) always go by the short form, then why bother using the full name? 

WDYT?

I'm all for naming my child a full name instead of the shortened version of it. Michael, Edward, Robert, Joel/Joseph/etc, Samuel.. Samson..

The possibilities are endless. But no.. I don't like names that are horribly short like that. :(
