I wouldn't. My niece is Mary Miranda and she goes by Mira. My sister's-in-law family has a tradition of using family names for first names and then calling the child by a middle name. So they chose to use Mary (her mom is Mary Renee who goes by Renee) Miranda and have her go by Miranda. They were worried about the nickname Randy so they decided to use Mira. Mira was five before she could figure out her name. It's a mess. Most people who had parents do this wish they never did. It's just confusing for all involved.
