I think this is pretty much a one-off name, and that if somebody gives it as a full name, it looks kind of pathetic, like going around dressed up and mimicking the mannerisms of some character or celebrity. It's not that uncommon for someone named Sharon or Cheryl to end up being called Cher/sher/Share for short by friends and family, but that doesn't bother me because it feels natural and not self-conscious.
