My brother has always been Cristian, not Cris, and I've always been Shayna, not Shay. To the best of my knowledge, few people ever tried to shorten our names as kids, and a simple "actually, it's Cristian, not Cris" form my mom nipped it right in the bud. The first time I even encountered someone trying to shorten my name was about three years ago, and I just said "don't", and they didn't. Easy peasy.
