I have always just gone by Catherine without a nickname. When I introduce myself to someone new I often get asked what I prefer to be called, and I just tell people I go by Catherine. Every now and then someone will call me Katie out of the blue, but that rarely happens. I also know Andrews, Jennifers, Elizabeths, Jacobs and Roberts who go by their full names.

Some names that I feel have inevitable NN's:
Christopher
Benjamin
Samuel
Joshua
Timothy

Those are a couple I can think of that people always seem to shorten no matter what. I can't think of any girls names like that right now, though.
