People wouldn't call a young Peter 'Pete' nowadays, would they? Because I love Peter but HATE Pete.

What names do you love but really dislike a nickname for it? Would you hesitate to use them because of this?

I want to name my daughter Abigail but I'm only luke-warm on Abby and I'd want her to be Abigail all the time. I would still use it though because I love it so much.

I've coached two Abigails, and I never thought to call them Abby. Their parents introduced them as Abigail, and that's what I called them.

That said, I had a beautiful, wonderful cat named Abby, and tho that sounds weird, I have better associations with that name than with most other names I associate with people.

I have a friend called Abigail and I call her Abby, though. :/ So yep. Mainly because it's a longer name to pronounce, and she doesn't mind either way.

Abigail Adams went by Nabby, but that's not much better.
