If you use short version of your name always are you pleased to have long version anyway

[yellowflowers]

Still struggling over whether to give our forthcoming baby the short version of long version of the names we like - in both boys names and girls names we would use the short version every day but DH thinks they should have long version. I don't want to say the actual nmes but they are not silly short versions - could be names in own right.

eg

Jon/Jonathan
Sam/Samuel
Ellie/Eleanor
Beth/Elizabeth

If you use a short version of your own name are you pleased to have the long one for official purposes anyway?

I'm 100% glad to have the full version. I would feel silly putting the short version on a CV etc.

DH has an aunt called Gilly, that's the sort of name I really feel needs a full version ie: Gillian. The same for Millie etc, I think they are fine for friends and family but not for a serious adult at a job interview.

My name is the short version and I like it that way. The long version is ugly IMO
