That's why I don't like it. It limits the person to just the name. Katy can only be Katy, but if she were Katharine, she could be Katy, Kate, Katie, Kathy, Kay, Kat, Kit, Kitty or something else. Alexandra could be Alex, but she could also be Alexa, Lexi or Xandra. That's why I like names like Margaret and Elizabeth. There are many names to choose from and she can pick the one that fits her best.I would be extremely disappointed if Gia was my full name. Because my name is Giovanna, I can be Giovanna, Giovanella (only to my mom), Gianna (and any other spelling I like ex Giana, Jonna), Gianni (only to my grandfather), Gina (I don't, but I could make it work if I felt like it), Gio and Gia.

That's the thing: None of us have options. If it were left up to you, would you have chosen Lindsey for yourself?c

Well, ....No, certainly not.
However the idea that my parents could have gone ahead and named me Lindz or Lin (like many of my friends refer to me) just pisses me off.
I'm glad they gave me a full name.

Agreed. Parents can maximize those options.
