Help[Opinions] Maybe it's just me then :)
in reply to a message by CN
I would always assume someone being called Matt is actually named Matthew, etc.
I don't agree with you about Bill because that's such a common nickname and a not so common full name, but I do agree with you about Jack. I had to explain to my husband how Jack comes from John when I told him I like John nn Jack. :)

At least in an English-speaking context, I'd assume too Matt is Matthew and so forth. I'm aware that in some cultures, English nicknames have been "borrowed" as full names. I think this is what CN was referring to.
I once met a Dutch guy named Tommy and it's true it sounds a bit silly to me as a full name. But he was a total jerk, which doesn't help.
