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?

Oh, I forgot to do the second part! There really aren't any names that I like but don't like any nicknames for, but there are some where I don't like a potential nn for them. Like I love William but dislike Bill/Billy, but I love Will and Liam. Or I like Katherine but dislike Katie, but I like Kitty, Kit, and Kate. I like James but dislike Jim, but I like Jamie and Jem. I could go on and on with multiple examples of this, I'm sure.
