Of course if someone told me "you should go to Dr Maddy Jones, she's great", I wouldn't hold her name against her, but I think it's better to have a more formal name in professional situations. I struggle with imagining a 50-yo grey-haired CEO named Maddy. Which doesn't mean that someone named Maddy is doomed to never have a career because of her name, but the name would look awkard in certain situations, the way in which it would be awkward to turn up at a business meeting in tattered jeans.
I think this is a particularly glaring example because it's a nn that sounds particularly childish and that I can 't imagine on someone over 5, as opposed to the likes of Alex, Kate and maybe ever Katie that seem more adult.
What I don't get about wanting a nn as full name at every cost is: what's the big deal, for the parents, to put Madeleine "on the dotted line"? It doesn't stop them to use Maddy.
