I personally dont see nn as a must, in fact, I prefer none, especially on traditional classics everyone shortens (Michael, David, Jeffery, Daniel, Thomas, William). Some nn I really like such as Ty for Tyler or Sky for Skylar. But I believe its up to the child what he/she wants to be called. I am the only child in the family with a nn, Kristi for Kristina. I grew up hating Kristi, and wanted to be called Kristina, but my family wouldnt call me Kristina. Eventually I got over it, but why couldnt they call me what I wanted to be called, and my real name. If they wanted to call me Kristi, why not name me Kristi. Children dont get to choose their full name, but I think they should have a say if they dont like a nn or prefer the nn.

As of now, my names are William and Lucas, and I will call them William and Lucas.
