....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?

Usually I like nicknames and hate the full names, but there are some exceptions. For example, I like Emmeline but not Emma or Emmy. That's all I can think of for now.
