I go by my full name, Rachel. There isn't a whole lot you can do to shorten that name. Occasionally I might get, "Hey, Rach" or "What's up, Rach?" but nobody would ever call me that regularly. There is also Rachie, which I absolutely detest, and won't answer to. My sister's name is even less nickname-able than mine, but that is okay since we like our names. My parents have names with common nicknames. My dad will go by both, but my mom prefers her full name (which people almost never use, even though she always introduces herself that way).
