I've known Andrews, Jennifers, and Katherines without nicknames. It's names like
Joseph,
Matthew,
Benjamin, and
Thomas that people seem to think must have a nickname. Maybe
Elizabeth too, at least where I live. It's almost always shortened to
Liz.
EDIT: It's a shame, because I love
Joseph as a full name.
Matthew is nice too.
