Do you think someone will take a grown man seriously when he says his name is Billy or Stevie? I wouldn't-- it sounds childish and your baby won't be a baby forever.
Many names, like Alexander, Zachary, and Matthew, get shortened to their nicknames automatically-- I can't tell you how many times a teacher has taken attendance in a class and come to a Matthew and asked "Do you go by Matthew or Matt?" It's only "different" nicknames that would have to be corrected (Like Xander instead of Alex, Liam instead of Will or Bill)
So-- basically, no. Give them a full name and call them by a nickname if you like.
