Depends on the name, if I had a daughter Katherine I would call her Katherine or at times Kat. I don't like Kate or Katie (but I'm okay with Cate, it's a long explanation). I know a Jacob that everyone calls Jacob, a Kathryn everyone calls Kathryn, an Elizabeth that goes by Elizabeth, etc. Generally as long as everyone refers to a person by "Jacob" or "Elizabeth" everyone else generally follows suit (but there are always exceptions). That said, I'm not overly worried about a Katherine becoming Katie unless she wants to be called that.
