I am of that opinion that if you are called a certain name, then thats what you should be called! I think this comes from being a Nicole who has had to endure being called Nikki my whole life. I often said to my mum 'why bother with Nicole? You should have just named me Nikki'
So in actual fact, I think if someone is going to name their child Abigail, then call her Abby all her life, why not just name her Abby in the first place? I'd rather the 'nickname' be the full name, than to be named one thing and than called another.
