That's true, and kind of funny because nickname-names are really common in the UK right now, but not quite as common in the US.

At my blog (link below) I posted a bit about the nicknames vs. longer names between the countries.

I've noticed that too! At least in the UK BA's that some people post here. I think in the UK, nickname-names are being seen as hip and fresh again, while in North America they are still seen as somewhat dated, and are associated with babyboomer names and 1950's sitcoms. You Europeans are so ahead of the curve!
