Yes...I know a lot of people who have names that come with the (what seems to be) predetermined nns. I know
Anthony's,
Nicholas', and
Andrew's that do not go by
Tony,
Nick,
Andy /
Drew. I think some may think its a nn, but others usually call a child what the family does...so if you call her
Gabrielle or another nn,
Gabrielle will be what she is called.
