Can a 3 syllable name resist a nickname?

One of my favourite names for possible DD is a 3 syllable name but I don't like the obvious nickname.

Have any of you/your DCs with 3 or more syllables been able to keep the full name in regular use?!

My DH has a 3 syllable name and it's never shortened. I think it depends if there is an obvious nickname

Yes. Dd1 hates the shorter version of her name. People use it but she corrects them! She's 5.5.
