I believe that in most European countries long names aren't necessarily shortened as they seem to be in the US. In Croatia, you are called by the name you introduce yourself by, however long or short it might be (it's considered rude to shorten someones name without them suggesting it first -like saying: Hi, I'm Nikolina, but call me Niki).
