....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?

I'm with a lot of others on here who love James but hate Jim or Jimmy.
I like Harrison and I used to dislike Harry, but I've come to terms with the fact that a Harrison would probably be called Harry by some, and it's not SO bad.
