Yes I do! I think it can be adorable and at the same really convenient for other people especially if they are not too familiar with certain names and pronunciations e.g. ethnic names.

Yes. Shortened name is easier to call and minimalize misspelling. I give my baby name with full consideration of the shortened version. I make sure even its short, it still have meaning :)

Yes, I do. Its really sweet when family and friends call you by your short names. Though would not like everyone calling by short name only people who are close.

thanks
