[Opinions] Nicknames as full names?

What do you all think of giving your kids nicknames as full names? For example, I am in love with the name Charlie for a boy, but people might think it's short for Charles, which I don't like at all. And I'm not talking about nicknames that are already commonly used as first names, like Jack or Kate.

My favorites are:
Boys
Alec
Cal
Cam
Charlie
Frankie
Geordie
Gil
Kit

Girls
Allie
Emmy
Evie
