....love a name but dispise the shortened version?

For example, my name is Jillian.  I love it.  But most people, of course, shorten it to Jill.  I don't mind it, I've gotten use to it but deep down I think it's too short, plain and boring!  I'm so glad I have Jillian to go by professionally. 

Have you come across any names that irk you like this?

Yes!

I love Harriet, Louisa, Michael, and James, but I HATE all of the nicknames for Harriet (except Etta), I don't like Lou, and I don't like Mike. I also HATE the name Jim. I do like Jamie, but I don't know that it'd work on an adult the way Jim is used.
