If I love the name, I would use the name without nicknames. My dad very firmly told relatives that my sister was Amanda, NOT Mandy when she was born and she never was a Mandy. If it is a name I only really like or am on the fence with, I would use it as a middle name to avoid nicknames. Victoria & Jacqueline are those kind of names for me.

I know a Caroline that does not go by a nickname.
