Parents to one-syllable-name kids

So I am curious, if you have a child whose full name is one syllable only, do you find yourself or others using nicknames that add syllables?! I know longer names always get shortened but I've also often noticed that sometimes one syllable just doesn't cut it and a name needs more!
Thoughts and experiences?

We use the one syllable name 99% of the time, but add a longer jokey version when playing
