I'm not going to start a discussion about this but I just don't get it when people talk about names to fall back on. There's never any guarantee that a child will like the name the parents choose so with that kind of reasoning we need to make sure we give a child as many names as possible just in case s/he doesn't like it and want something else to "fall back on". As I see it, there's no point in desperately trying to find a name you will never use just so you can use the nickname you really love, a nickname that will in fact be the child's name.
