For the most part, I prefer names without nn's because that's what I'm used to. My name is Heather, which can't really be shortened, but my brother and sister still get called by nn's they don't like (Candis/Candi, Nicholas/Nicky - he prefers Nick). But I greatly dislike, also for the most part, names used as formal names that are primarily nn's -- i.e. Katie, Ricky, Angie, etc. My best friend is named Kimmie, not Kimberly, and she finds it hard for people to take her seriously, etc. (even though she likes her name).
