[Opinions] Re: nicknames that became names in their own right

I think it depends on the country. Where I live all of those are considered full names just as Alex, Jimmy, Tommy, Conny etc. Nicknames aren't common around here and I think it is extremely rare that someone is called by another name than their full name. I wouldn't think it was strange to meet a Sally (I have met a Sally) or Jack (know a Jack) or any of the others.
