I have had a lot of people say (on here when i was looking for name suggestions) that they believe babies should only be named what you intend to call them. But I like the opportunity of a nickname so I disagree.

Anyhow, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. My sister is Charli and that is Charli, not Charlotte. I guess it depends on the name, but i think most are okay.

The other thing is, if you name them the 'full version' at least they have the opportunity for choice?
