Yeah, I'm with you--I generally like nicknames. I'm an Alexandra, who has been nicknamed Ally, Al, and Alex at different times in my life when each fit. When I was young, I went pretty much exclusively by my full name. My mom said she almost didn't name me Alexandra because she was worried people would call me Alex! Now I'm Alex to the majority of people who know me, and it's doesn't bother me a lick (my mom is almost over it now, too). I love having a versatile name, and I would never insist on someone calling me by my full 4-syllable name if they prefer something briefer.
