Yes to Mona, Eliza, Amy, and Lilly spelled Lily. A giant NO to the others.

Ben- yes
Chris- yes

Mick- no because it is a naasty word for an Irishman, but I would use it as a nn, I guess that doesn't make sense

Tora /Tori- yes
Mona- yes
Brynn- yes

I am going to yes/no the ones that I think aren't strong enough to be a full fn.

I like these:

---

Chris (prefer as a full name for Christian)

---

Tora
Tori (nn for Victoria)
Eliza
Milly (prefer Millie as a nn for Amelia or Camille)
Lilly (as a full name)

I like:

---

Ben - I dont care for it as a nn or full name
Chris - ditto
Cole - I do think its nny, but I dont like any full name, and I do know plenty of Cole's to make it work as a full name
Ash - no
Mick - would probably work, not sure about it though on a personal level
Max - Since I dont care for any full names, I think this is one that gets away with it
Will - Same as Ben and Chris
Alex - Alex- names in general are overused for me

---

kate - no
Tora /Tori - no
Mona - I have met one, so I guess its not that weird to see it as a full name
Brynn - I just loathe this name in general
Eliza - Yes, I think it works fine, and I love it
Asia - no
Allie - nn
Milly - Too old sounding for me to like it, and weird (then again I knew one and she was weird (the normal one of the family sad to say)
Mandy - I knew a Manda, which was nice, and more mature I think than Mandy
Amy - Never seen this as a nn, but always as a full name
Emma - it works because its very popular, but ugh
Lilly - works, but again, I really dislike it

These I don't see as very nickname-y at all, or at least I wouldn't object to them being used as fn's:
Cole (I think you mean "legit")
Max
Alex
Kate
Mona
Brynn
Eliza
Asia - I see this as a place name, not a nn. As a nn for what? (Anastasia is the only thing that comes to mind)
Amy
Emma
Lilly

Ben: This works okay as a fn.

---

Chris: needs to be short for something.

---

Cole: Never seen it used as a nn, always a full name.

---

Ash: Doesn't make a good name at all.

---

Mick: Never. In the US, it's an old, but still used, word for an Irishman.

---

Max: Never seen it as anything other than a full name.

---

Will: Works okay as a full name.

---

Alex: ditto

---

Kate: Passable

---

Tora/Tori: Borderline. Tori is kind of cutesy, cheerleadery to be a full name. Tora makes me think of Tora! Tora! Tora!

---

Mona: I don't know anybody with this name, but I've never heard of it being a nickname.

---

Brynn: Likewise

---

Eliza: Fine to use in full

---

Asia: IT's distinctive enough that it should stand on its own.

---

Allie: This needs a full name.

---

Milly: So does this

---

Mandy: Ditto

---

Amy: This is not a nn for anything.

---

Emma: Neither is this. They're both full names in their own right.

---

Lilly: Works fine on its own.
