Philip I like, also Phillip. I guess I'd rank it pretty high, but can't think of a number. My Phillip is called Phillip by family, usually, but Phil by his friends, usually. He answers to both equally. I think avoiding Phil would be fair-to-good possible.

I happen to like Joe as a nn. Such an all-around, good-guy kind of name. I wouldn't like Joe just on its own, rather I would prefer the full name to be Joseph, but the fact is I don't much like the name Joseph in its full form. I think the chances of naming a boy Joseph and not having him called Joe are slim.
