I see that more and more, the correcting thing, I mean. There is a baseball player who plays for the team I follow who is named Daniel, and insists on being called Daniel. The announcers know this and never call him Dan/Danny, so the fan base, in return never calls him Dan/ Danny.

But I don't see friends and classmates being as forgiving. Although, I grew up with a Nicolette, and she was occasionally called Nic, but never Nikki. I think if the child introduces herself by her full name, people will go along with it, but if she chooses a nickname... all hope is lost lol.
