I guess our "tradition" is that one of my grandmothers hated nicknames. No nicknames on the other side of the family either. So there wasn't any legacy in that regard.
My children's names:
Travis, nn Trav (he's also been called Travissimo, Travitoni, Travelloni, etc., but he hates this.)
Garrett, nn Wally.
No, I don't automatically think of nicknames. Even though my kids have nns, I still tend to call people by their full names. (I call my friend Michael by his full name, not Mike like most people; I call my friend Richard just that, not Rich which he prefers; Peter not Pete; etc.)
